What The Money Masters Is About

A three and a half hour documentary that starts the history of money, debt and taxes in antiquity and carries it forward through fractional reserve banking, central banking, the bond market and the Federal Reserve. Its argument is stated plainly: the Fed is not part of the government but a private structure run for profit, and the power to create money out of nothing has gathered through history into the hands of a few banking families. The lawyer Patrick S. J. Carmack produced it and the journalist Bill Still directed and narrated. It closes by proposing monetary reform, so it is a case being argued rather than an account being given. It is fair to say up front that these claims are not accepted in mainstream economics and are widely contested. Watch it knowing what it is arguing for, not only what it is describing.
