Deep dives
The Role of the Federal Reserve
The central bank's influence on the economy is a major concern, primarily due to its monetary policies that create extreme fluctuations in wealth and value. The history of the Federal Reserve is marked by a shift away from stable monetary systems, particularly since the abandonment of gold ownership for U.S. citizens. This shift has resulted in extensive currency printing and inflationary pressures, raising fears about the sustainability of the current economic system. As a reaction to financial crises, the Fed has issued trillions of dollars in credit without addressing the root causes, leading many analysts to predict an impending collapse.
