Question Hello Docs99,
I have heard that J.F.K. was assasinated because he was going to turn our currency back onto the gold standard & this didn't set well with the Federal Reserve who, I have read, is owned by the Jews & the rich international bankers. I read that they are primarily responsible for the present value of our declining dollar.
I don't know of course if there is any truth to this but I would love to read a book by an author who has credible research experience into the above that isn't just some huckster trying to sell a book for profit from his own biased or poorly researched/unfactual information.
I know there must be lot's of books out there relating to what I have stated above and am just hoping to get some ideas from you experts so I can purchase books from people who know what they're talking about and save spending money on other authors' guesses, misrepresentations, or biases.
I would greatly appreciate any books which you might recommend that might more correctly explain why our economy and banking industry is in such a shambles today. It just seems like everyone is blaming some other person or agency.
Thank you for any help.
Sincerely,
Mike E.
Answer Thank you for your query. The US left the Gold Standard during the Nixon Administration. During the Kennedy years we were under the Gold Standard. You may want to check out the site of the Federal Reserve for some key dates. There are plenty of books on economic history. You may want to check with the reference librarian for a few of them. Good luck.
