Rigged Money - Detlef Gloge - Bog

Wars and the need to fund them were the historic reason for banks to create excessive amounts of fiat money. This book explains how banks seized the wealth of society's most vulnerable members to create fiat money. During peacetimes, banks primarily lent to the government depriving the private sector of capital and resources. The unimpeded bank credit offered the government a convenient source for unlimited borrowing and spending. US banks also learned to offer fiat dollars to foreigners seizing the wealth of foreign dollar users. The peremptory confiscation of foreign dollar holdings by the US is poisoning the trust in the dollar and reestablishing gold as a reserve currency.
