"Reconsidering the limits-past, present, future-of the financial institutions that stand between us and the abyss. Two financial crises in two decades have expanded and diversified the roles of central banks in the twenty-first century. With the 2008 crash, they became the lenders of last resort in monetary policy; with Covid-19, they became underwriters of the public welfare. Both powers are expansive, unchecked, and inherently political. Is this democracy? In Balance of Power, economist and historian âEric Monnet traces the rise of the central banks-from their public-private origins to their current portfolio, which spans everything from interest rates to international relations-to make an urgent and erudite argument: the central banks are no longer independent, if they ever were. And our ability to subject them to democratic rule will go a long way in wielding their expansive powers effectively in societies that face multiple crises at once. Eschewing the traditional storytelling around the birth of central banks and their operational independence, Monnet shows how the power of central banks flows from their origins as a part of the welfare state: they were the financial apparatus used to stabilize societies after World War II, and they have never abdicated that role since. Today it can be seen in the central banks' role as insurance providers-the backstop institution of bailouts, stimuli, and rescue plans. As new challenges emerge, including the boom of digital currencies and the simmering crisis of climate change, central banks will necessarily have to break the glass on longstanding taboos of monetary policy. With this creeping expansion well underway, Monnet offers a trenchant, deeply erudite case for what a democratic central bank can look like"--

Dr. John Coleman, auteur van The Committee of 300, vertelt het verhaal van hoe Mayer Amschel, de oprichter van de "Red Shield" dynastie, zijn eerste fortuin verwierf. Dit staat ver af van de mythen en legenden die nog steeds rondgaan over de man die begon als een lompenhandelaar en pandjesbaas, werkend vanuit een klein huis in de Judenstrasse in Frankfurt am Main, Duitsland, waar hij woonde met zijn vrouw en gezin. Historische gebeurtenissen worden vaak veroorzaakt door een 'verborgen hand' die achter de schermen aan de touwtjes trekt van koningen, prinsen en machthebbers. Dit fenomeen wordt uitgelegd en de legendes die rond de Rothschilds zijn ontstaan, worden geanalyseerd in dit boek, dat ook onthult hoe Rothschild-intriges Napoleon en tsaar Alexander II van Rusland ten val brachten. Volgens de legende werden de 'genialiteit en financiële vaardigheden' van Mayer Amschel Rothschild geërfd door zijn zonen, maar de waarheid is heel anders, zoals Dr. Coleman overduidelijk maakt in dit goed onderzochte verslag dat veel verder gaat dan de bekendste legendes die het ware karakter van de beroemde familie verhullen. Het is fascinerend om te lezen over het geluk van Mayer Amschel Rothschild en de stappen die hij nam om van zijn familie de 'virtuele heersers van heel Europa' te maken. Dit uitzonderlijke boek behandelt niet alleen het verleden, maar ook het heden en de toekomst. Het zal helpen om veel van de gebeurtenissen te verklaren die gewone mensen verbijsteren, zoals de oorlog in Irak en de oorlogsdreigingen tegen Iran.

According to World Bank (2021), the economic recovery post-COVID-19 in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has been uneven and tumultuous. Reasons for this include exposure to oil-price fluctuations, the impact of pandemic, public demonstrations, and political instability. Although the MENA region encompasses a variety of countries - wealthy, stable and oil-rich countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar as well as less secure countries such as Iraq and Syria - it plays an important role in the global economy.Handbook of Banking and Finance in the MENA Region explores the trends in finance and banking of the MENA region, including theoretical and empirical perspectives from researchers around the globe. The first part of the book explores numerous reforms in the region's banking and finance, including digital technology, financial technology (fintech) and green finance. While financial inclusion in the Gulf Cooperation Council is much higher, the other countries in the MENA region have yet to overcome this trend, and the second part of the book provides specific case studies of ways in which banks have contributed to the region. The final section of the book considers macroeconomic factors and financial development. Together these perspectives enrich the discussion of facts and development challenges in the finance and banking of the MENA region as a whole.

Una storia delle banche centrali e della schiavitù dell'umanità, che si avvale dell'esperienza di Stephen Goodson come ex direttore della Banca centrale del Sudafrica. Questo libro esplora il ruolo delle banche e del denaro nel corso della storia, dall'antichità ai giorni nostri. Il ruolo dei prestatori è stato spesso definito "mano nascosta". Questo potere di creare, prestare e accumulare interessi sul "credito", e poi di prestare nuovamente quel credito per guadagnare altri interessi, e così via in perpetuo, ha tessuto il giogo pervasivo del debito globale, schiavizzando individui, famiglie e lo Stato. La capacità di gestire un sistema di prestiti e crediti fraudolenti risale all'antichità e questi usurai - quelli che Gesù cacciò dal Tempio - convinsero i governi che il settore bancario doveva essere gestito da operatori privati. Molte guerre, rivoluzioni, depressioni, recessioni economiche e altri sconvolgimenti sociali sono stati direttamente collegati alla determinazione di questi usurai di mantenere ed espandere il loro potere e i loro profitti. Quando uno Stato, un individuo o un'idea hanno minacciato la loro truffa, hanno spesso risposto con guerre e rivoluzioni. Il progresso culturale e materiale di una civiltà era spesso legato alla sua liberazione dall'influenza del debito e dal degrado derivante dalla presa di potere dei banchieri. Così, Goodson dimostra che le due guerre mondiali, le guerre napoleoniche, l'ascesa e la caduta di Giulio Cesare, il rovesciamento di Gheddafi in Libia e la rivoluzione bolscevica, oltre a molti altri eventi, sono direttamente collegati alla volontà di questa "mano nascosta". Questa è la chiave per comprendere il passato, il presente e il futuro.

In Other People's Money And How The Banks Use It, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis denounces corporatism, monopolies, investment bankers, and above all, the total consolidation of American wealth into the hands of a privileged few. Completely uncensored, there are few indictments of the American banking system as incendiary. LOUIS D. BRANDEIS was an Associate Justice Of The Supreme Court and a patriot. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest crusaders for social justice in our nation's history, credited with drafting our most important Right To Privacy Laws, as well as championing our right to freedom of speech. He wrote "Other People's Money and How Bankers Use It" to warn the American people about the greedy bankers that control the United States and drive us into financial ruin. While Louis D. Brandeis's series of articles on the money trust was running in Harper's Weekly many inquiries came about publication in more accessible permanent form. Even without such urgence through the mail, however, it would have been clear that these articles inevitably constituted a book, since they embodied an analysis and a narrative by that mind which, on the great industrial movements of our era, is the most expert in the United States. The inquiries meant that the attentive public recognized that here was a contribution to history. Here was the clearest and most profound treatment ever published on that part of our business development which, as President Wilson and other wise men have said, has come to constitute the greatest of our problems. The story of our time is the story of industry. No scholar of the future will be able to describe our era with authority unless he comprehends that expansion and concentration which followed the harnessing of steam and electricity, the great uses of the change, and the great excesses. No historian of the future, in my opinion, will find among our contemporary documents so masterful an analysis of why concentration went astray. I am but one among many who look upon Mr. Brandeis as having, in the field of economics, the most inventive and sound mind of our time. While his articles were running in Harper's Weekly I had ample opportunity to know how widespread was the belief among intelligent men that this brilliant diagnosis of our money trust was the most important contribution to current thought in many years. "Great" is one of the words that I do not use loosely, and I look upon Mr. Brandeis as a great man. In the composition of his intellect, one of the most important elements is his comprehension of figures. As one of the leading financiers of the country said to me, "Mr. Brandeis's greatness as a lawyer is part of his greatness as a mathematician." My views on this subject are sufficiently indicated in the following editorial in Harper's Weekly.

There are some similarities between the 2023 state of the US economy and the 2008 financial crisis related to inflation and supply chain disruptions, however, the underlying causes of the two situations are different. The concise but scoped analysis of major economies related to the present circumstances in the US banking crisis divulges Fazle Chowdhury's plea for caution.The US government and the Federal Reserve have taken steps to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and curbing interest rates to battle inflation. Such measures, however, have placed several US banks in a tough position. On 15th March 2023, The Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was closed down by US regulators. This was followed by its former parent company SVB Financial Group filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (the filing did not include its remaining subsidiaries). A second, New York-based Signature Bank was forced to shut its doors. It was later bought by New York Community Bancorp (Flagstar Bank). A third, Silvergate bank had previously announced on March 8 they would liquidate due to their failures in their cryptocurrency portfolios.Fazle Chowdhury closely followed the events that led to the fall of Lehman Brothers in September 2008. A strong supporter of the Federal Reserve's response to the 2008 financial crisis rooted in his assessment of the viability and stability of the banking system, he describes a grim reality of the present situation that can be remedied if specific controls are set in place.

The Mars Hypothesis presents the idea that the Federal Reserve can set interest rates based on the movements of the planet Mars. In this book, data going back to 1896 shows that as of April 2020, percentage-wise, the Dow Jones rose 857%. When Mars was within 30 degrees of the lunar node since 1896, the Dow rose 136%. When Mars was not within 30 degrees of the lunar node, the Dow rose 721%. Mars retrograde phases during the time Mars was within 30 degrees of the lunar node was not counted in that data as Mars being within 30 degrees of the lunar node. The purpose of the book is to not only hypothesize that the Federal Reserve can set interest rates based on the movements of the planet Mars, but to also demonstrate exactly how and at the same time, formulate a system that would enable the Federal Reserve to carry out its application in real time. Using the observation of the planet Mars, the book contains a strategy for controlling inflation, interest rate setting recommendations and the predicted dates of future bear market time periods all the way thru the year 2098.

O Dr. John Coleman, autor de História do Comité de 300, conta a história de como Mayer Amschel, o fundador da dinastia "Red Shield", adquiriu a sua primeira fortuna. Isto está longe dos mitos e lendas que ainda rodeiam o homem que começou como comerciante de trapos e penhorista, trabalhando numa pequena casa na Judenstrasse em Frankfurt am Main, Alemanha, onde viveu com a sua mulher e família. Os acontecimentos históricos são frequentemente causados por uma "mão escondida" puxando os cordelinhos de reis, príncipes e potentados dos bastidores. Este fenómeno é explicado e as lendas que cresceram em torno dos Rothschilds são analisadas por este livro, que também revela como as intrigas Rothschild derrubaram homens como Napoleão e o czar Alexandre II da Rússia. A lenda conta que Mayer Amschel Rothschild "genialidade e capacidade financeira" foram herdados pelos seus filhos, mas a verdade é bem diferente, como o Dr. Coleman deixa claro neste relato bem investigado que vai muito além das lendas mais conhecidas que escondem o verdadeiro carácter da famosa família. É fascinante ler sobre como Mayer Amschel Rothschild teve sorte e os passos que deu para fazer da sua família os "governantes virtuais de toda a Europa". Este livro excepcional não é apenas sobre o passado, mas também sobre o presente e o futuro. Vai ajudar a explicar muitos acontecimentos que deixam perplexa a gente comum, tais como a guerra no Iraque e as ameaças de guerra contra o Irão.
