Ed Griffin: Economics in the Age of Propaganda
Fergus Hodgson, 6 October 2016
G. Edward Griffin has perhaps done more than anyone to raise understanding of the Federal Reserve and unbacked fiat currencies, up with the likes of former Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX). His book, The Creature from Jekyll Island, is now in its fifth edition and is the gold standard for those wanting to look behind the curtain.
He is also the founder of Freedom Force International, and in this episode we discuss how people can better inform themselves on economics and become agents for change. His concern is that media and political deception are in “hyperdrive” and that too many people have been the victims of government schools, which reduce their natural skepticism towards authority.
