1982214 pages including bibliography. Our economic future is dictated by the Federal Reserve. Jacque Rueff was aware of this fact when he alerted the West to the Fed's plot to control the free world's economy. So repugnant was this knowledge that it precipitated an economic war between our Fed and the world's central banks. To avoid a crisis - nationalization - the Fed and its Complex engaged America in a horrendous hoax: a war of containment (Vietnam), a war on poverty (the Great Society) and a war on gold (the London gold pool). Today's recession is the first stage of another misdirection conspiracy that will again attempt to make it possible for an international complex to wrest control of America's economy. Ridiculous, you say? Then read the proof! Publisher's stamp inside front cover. Library stamps upon each edge of textblock else unmarked. Binding sound. Moderate to average wear. Good working copy.

(Ms. Campbell and her party were all but destroyed in the federal election which occurred shortly after this book was printed.) Light wear. Clean and unmarked. Nice copy. Book
