The Best-Selling 'Monetary-Policy' Books Are All Anti-Fed
Interestingly, Amazon's list of best sellers in the "monetary policy" category is a veritable parade of anti-Fed and anti-central bank books.
Having not read all of them, I certainly can't endorse all of them, and many of them surely contain questionable economics and fanciful claims about central banks. (Jim Grant's great new book is in there, though.)
On the other hand, the fact that such books dominate the book sales in this category tells us a thing or two about how the near consensus of approval once enjoyed by the Fed (and other Western central banks) is long gone — thanks largely to Ron Paul's 2008 campaign.
Had we a list like this from 10 or 15 years ago, it probably would have been dominated by books like Bob Woodward's Maestro, which basically made the case that Alan Greenspan was an inimitable genius.
(You can pick up a hardback copy of Maestro for one cent, by the way.)
Perhaps perfectly combining the two phrases "A penny for your thoughts" and "You get what you pay for"

Where's David Stockman and his THE GREAT DEFORMATION????
Here's my review on eBay where you can get the 700+ page doorstopper for under $15 including shipping- they are all in great condition (because nobody reads it):
"Get Smart. Read this book. It's exactly as the title says. Give up TV for 6 months and read this 700 page novel of political and financial deception. Its a thriller. Your future depends on it! Note: There is not 1 graph or chart or financial table in the whole book: only ultra-witty and easy to understand text. Search David on youtube if you want a glimpse of the author and his way of thinking."
Who in the fuck would read Bernanke's book? I would rather stick a hot poker in my eye.
And BTW, the books aren't anti-fed. They really are emphasize that the fed is misguided or simply put, dumb fucks.
They will try to tell you that capitalism is evil, but the opposite is true. If your company is in direct competition with another company, they will push you to greater heights and vice versa.
Competition is a blessing. -TeamDepends (fuck you Rockefeller)
This is still the best overview of how we have gotten here that I have read. It’s a little rough around the edges and slow in the beginning but it is as clear as could be and certainly worth the read. Three, three and a half hours tops.
The list needs more Mises, Hayek and Rothbard, with a little Hazlitt, Flynn and Mencken thrown in for good measure. At least Dr. Paul is there leading the way to them.
Benspankme already put that hot poker somewhere else on your person.
Royaly, like some princes.
well, this aricle only goes to show an anti-Fed consensus amongst READERS. Traders, on the otherhand.... just how much overlap is there between the two, I have my doubts....
Is there something equivocal about the title "End the Fed" that I fail to perceive?
To FIRMLY seal the deal on banker conspiracy FACT, read "All the President's Bankers" by Nomi Prins...extremely well documented with 70 pages of footnotes
Learn to garden!!! Screw the Psychopaths!!!!!
Unleash Hannibal Lecter on the Federal Reserve.
I'd pay to see that movie.
It would be cool if some crazed lunatic went after the Fed board of governors, CB'ers around the world and CEO's of the worlds 10 largest banks. I would read the book and watch the movie
Why must they be crazed. I would call them brave. Honest. Or Hero.
"....fava beans and a nice chianti." But let's face it, they would taste like shit.
Indeed.
6 of the top 18 books on "monetary policy" are about Bitcoin... When is the ZH crowd going to learn.
They are lambs, Clarice.
Then let's silence them, doctor.
Hide the women and children. Krugman's getting up his courage to act on Ben's Bernanke.
Great News, q99 ....
The China Securities Journal said that China's economic malaise (dip) should bottom out in H2/Q3 or something like that. So, there is a downturn in China as per the Chinese. No shit.
Goldman just lowered their commodity forecasts for the rest of the year, saying they should bottom in guess when.... the second half. No shit.
I agree with you. The PTB/Illuminati don't listen to you and that makes this shit all their fault. Damn.
Maybe better hide the kitty cats to. Thekruggie like to cuddle with them way too much and Hill 's probably gonna kill a whole bunch of 'em on national television this week just to get it out of the way, early so her Perceptions Mgt/PR team can build a whole new persona just in time for the election.
Damn, it just don't get any more fucked up than this, do it?
To all those who helped to marginalize Ron Paul, if only by neglect:
Read 'em and weep.
That's encouraging about the enlightened best seller list, but the fact remains that 90% of the population are captured with a blind loyalty to the Establishment and all the evidence
and argument supporting revelations that our government has been taken over by criminals will meet a brick wall.
That's because the sheeple have been not only chemically dumbed down but more
importantly emotionally handicapped with fear that drives them to the perceived safe haven of the Establishment.
Vaccines, fluoride and GMO food have toxically injured the sheeple and have captured their loyalty and compromised their independence.
Don't forget the aerosols!
Have you ever rescued a horse from a burning barn? If you don't tie him up outside he will run back in. In their panic, they run to the only place they perceive safety. The other problem is pulling a horse from a burning barn. He will plant his feet and refuse to go. The remedy? You must cover his eyes and coax him out with your calm voice. Yes, it must be calm and confident or the horse will perceive fear and freeze in place.
All of this comes with great personal risk to the horse's owner but they will do it if they love the horse or perceive it has value. Some horses are worth saving and, sadly, some are not.

@miffed
great comment. Reminds me of when I was researching high level corruption and did not know what I would do with the info. I ran into an ex special forces guy at the book store and after a conversation about what I was finding out he told me that people are pretty much the same everywhere in that the average person will not take action or protest untill they have nothing else to lose and then it is too late. Their fear of losing what little they have keeps them from seeing that doing nothing gaurantees the worst outcome. He also said that many members of the public will refuse to believe facts and attack the messenger. Consider the New York fire fighters who remain quiet concerning 9-11 because of their fear of losing their pension.
When her son is diagnosed with leukemia on Christmas Eve and her husband suffers a major coronary on Christmas Day a woman must dash to the hospital to spend time with her comatose daughter.
I love's me a happy never ending.
My favorite book on the FED - "Zirp Zombies : How Bankers Devour Nations" on Amazon
The globalists are promoting the anti-Fed/Western central bank propaganda theme as part of their plan to bring in the BRICS as saviors after the next financial crisis. But both the Western and BRICS central bankers have been on the same G20/NWO team since 1999. http://redefininggod.com/2015/01/george-soros-and-the-elites-china-front...
That shouldn't be surprising. Here's another anti-fed link worth reading...

Ben Bernanke: The Courage to Counterfeit (then accept six figure speaking fees for peddling bullshit).
For the ones still thinking that bitcoin is a ponzi-pyramid-scheme-drugmoney-NSA-FBI-CIA-ROTSHCILD-illuminati-conspiracy-shitcoin-scam I recommend reading these related books.
"And Ben Bernanke's not-released-yet Memoir is already discounted by 29%..."
