Özet:
This book is intended for the general public. It has been [the author's] experience in teaching money and banking ... that most people know very little about the Federal Reserve, why it came into being, how it functions, and that the decisions it makes are independent of both the president and the Congress. It is [his] hope that the book will help people understand how monetary decisions affect the economy.-Pref.
