Lately I've been doing quite a bit of research into the history of money and its value in various civilizations. This has lead me into a study of the Federal Reserve and previous central banks that our nation had, and why we need to return to gold and silver for our currency. Most Americans know next to nothing about their currency or banks as they get most of their knowledge from the public schools and managed media, who are not educating them properly. The next few pages and links of interest to the left are a summary of what I have learned and hopefully will help others discover how to achieve and hold onto true wealth without inflation and debt eroding it away.
