I’ve read quite a few books over the years, trying to understand what has gone so wrong in America that we’re being driven toward personal and national bankruptcy, a loss of our national sovereignty, and absorption into a one-world socialist government controlled by unelected international bankers. And, in recent days, I’ve read three exceptional ones which go a long way toward explaining exactly what is happening, who is behind it, and why it is being done. The three books are: ‘The Shadows of Power’ by James Perloff, ‘Tragedy and Hope 101’ by Joseph Plummer, and this book, ‘Dishonest Money.’ All of them are ‘must reads,’ for any concerned American; but of the three, Dishonest Money is the best. As a matter of fact, I’ve only read one other book on this subject that it superior to this one: ‘The Creature from Jekyll Island’ by G. Edward Griffin, but even then, it’s a close call. Two things make this book superior to the first two: (1) the author has an uncanny way of making the complex very easy to understand. And, if anything in America is complex, it’s the nefarious Federal Reserve System, which was established with that very much in mind: The American people never were and aren’t supposed to understand what is happening to them. (2) The book appears to go beyond the other two in scope. It does that by explaining in simple terms exactly what is being done to America’s monetary system, how it is being done, and what the long-term results will be if this system is allowed to persist. In doing this, especially toward the end of the book, it discusses two non-American (or should I say un-American) creations which are accelerating America’s demise: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, about which little is known by the American people. This, then, is a book which should be read and re-read by every honest, decent, hard-working American. (Bankers and Politicians need not apply) Then it should be read again and again, until it is fully understood and committed to memory. Then, if you’re willing, you might consider spreading the word. At this late stage of our nation’s corruption and demise, it may be too late to do any good. But at least when you’ve been enslaved into ‘The New World Order,’ you’ll at least know how America’s criminal banking system, in league with corrupt politicians, robbed the American people and destroyed the nation.

Very easy, short book with simple examples that explain the world’s current financial plight and the top leaders who are responsible for it.

I recommend this book highly, because it explains the 'funny money scam' that is being and has long been run on us, the people of the world: it is short and does a good job explaining this fairly complex subject. We have deliberately been kept economically illiterate because the current monetary system is a clever and sneaky scam and is like any scam - once enough people understand it, the con men can't keep using it. In this case the con men are not street operators but 'heads of state' and the top men in the top banks and their appointees, like Helicopter Ben. We need an honest money system, one that cannot be manipulated by powerful people. Very briefly, the money supply has been made intangible - either paper notes, silver-clad metal slugs, or electronic book-keeping entries. There are several ways governments and banks can increase the supply of this funny money, most involving making book-keeping entries of new wealth that in fact do not represent any new wealth. Basically the money supply is increased, relative to the supply of goods and services for which it is bartered, while the tangible goods for which it is bartered remains the same - does not magically increase. This has the effect of driving up prices - more FRNs chasing the same quantities of goods and services. We are the losers, because the monetary unit continually bleeds value. $100 in FRNs stashed under the mattress back in 1913 when the Federal Reserve Act was passed would now be worth - in purchasing power - under a dime. In other words the FRN has lost over 90% of its value in approx. 100 years. In other words, this money does not serve as a good, reliable store of value - one of money's most important functions. Also, wages do not increase as rapidly as the purchasing power of the FRN decreases - so workers are getting a gradual perpetual cut in pay (because pay increases never fully compensate for the decline in purchasing power of the FRN. Anyone who has been on the planet for as long as I have now, which is going on 70 years, knows that the standard of living was much higher in the 50s and 60s, and there used not to be so many homeless, especially working homeless whose pay level on the low end of the scale no longer will even cover the basics of food and housing for one person, let alone a family. I recommend getting both this book and Griffin's THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND. The latter is very long, but each chapter contains a little summary both before and after, so one can skim through pretty quickly and get a good overview of the subject, and then delve into the book more deeply as your time permits. Griffin has a really good gift for explaining this complex topic and de-mystifying it, and so does DISHONEST MONEY: FINANCING THE ROAD TO RUIN. This money scam is one of the most important things that we need to learn about because it facilitates a continuous invisible transfer of wealth from the working classes to the elites at the top of the pay and standard-of-living scale.

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2012 by Central Banks R *the* Problem
Format: Paperback
This is the best book I have read, and I have read many, that shows how the Central Bankers control who ever is in the White House and many of our Congressmen and Senators. The Central Bankers make Trillions of dollars in profits through the Interest on Debt Money, the Income Tax (used to pay interest on the government debt), and the hidden Inflation Tax, which is the most egregious tax of all. Consider what $1 bought you in 1960 would cost you $7.63 today! That's a rate of inflation of 663%. Central Bankers create "Bubbles" in the financial markets through expansion of the money supply and then burst the Bubbles by decreasing the money supply and crashing the markets. They then buy up real assets, like real estate, office buildings, factories, farms, etc. at 10 cents to 30 cents on the dollar as they did in 1930 and 2009 and many other times in our history. Central Bankers have the real power in the US and other countries that have Central Banks. Do you think the 700 Billion Wall Street Bank bailout of 2008 was unique? Think again. There was the Penn Central bailout of 1970. Lockheed Corporation bailout of 1970. First Pennsylvania Bank bailout of 1980. Continental Illinois Bank bailout of 1984. The Savings and Loan bailout of 1986-1989. The Mexican bailout of 1995 to name a few. All of these bailouts were paid for by the US taxpayer. There is an old saying of he who has the gold gets to make the rules others have to play by. Money is the ultimate source of power. For those who don't believe this I'm reminded of what Senator Meachum says to Swagger in the film Shooter (2007). "Oh you poor dumb fool. You still don't get it. There are no Republicans or Democrats. There is no Left or Right. There are only haves and have not's. It's all about the money. Now which side do you want to be on son? Are you in or out?" That sums it up pretty good. The Federal Reserve is a dishonest debt system that creates money out of thin air. If every American would read this book, there would be an American Revolution to end the Fed and replace it with an honest money system.

The information contained in ‘Dishonest Money’ is critical to any accurate understanding of money and banking, period. Having studied these topics for years, I am familiar with most of what Mr. Plummer discusses, but I have yet to see all the disparate pieces of this –sometimes confusing—puzzle come together so nicely in one easy to read and easy to understand book. It is easy and understandable because Mr. Plummer takes you step by step in a very thoughtful process meant to communicate not impress. ‘Dishonest Money’ will surly help even the expert clear out a few cobwebs and misunderstandings while being extremely approachable to the novice. In my view, ‘Dishonest Money’ should be a vital part of any standard curriculum in public / private schools and universities interested in educating their students. With this knowledge in the hands or rather the minds of the public, the Central bankers would likely never have another restful night’s sleep and would be looking over their shoulders with every step they take. Other Plummer Books I recommend: Tragedy and Hope 101 Leaving the Illusion After reading ‘Dishonest Money’, a good follow on would be G. Edward Griffin’s ‘The Creature from Jekyll Island’

I heard the author of this book on the Alex Jones Webcast and asked my wife to buy it for me. I'm leaving a review here under her name, since she has the only Amazon account. So glad I got this book. You can make a fortune gambling at the casino with other people's money, especially if someone else guarantees to cover any losses. That is the banking system in a nutshell and the person guaranteeing to underwrite that loss is the American Taxpayer, through the process of dollar devaluation or what is commonly called inflation. As John Maynard Keynes once said, "By a continuing process of inflation, government can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.....and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.....The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." Since the 1960's I've read critiques of the financial system but had difficulty grasping the big picture. That's because I was thinking like an honest person. This is why Keynes said, only one man in a million is able to diagnose the problem. For the most part, people are honest. You have to temporarily take on the mindset of a swindler and crook to comprehend what's happening. America is basically a group of honest but gullible people in the grips of a massive swindle. It's a Con-Game so slick and convoluted, that it's difficult for the average person to grasp. Thanks to the author for writing a book that helps explain the financial system in terms understandable to average folks. Mr. Plummer's simple explanations are a breath of fresh air. He accurately points out that one of the greatest fears of the financial system is a "run on the bank," where lots of depositors all want their money. Then he asks the obvious question, If banking were an honest enterprise, why would they fear this? I recommend everyone buy and read this small and simple book if you want to know the big secret of why the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, your dollar always buys less and the government is always in debt or at war around the globe. We waste far too much time talking about symptoms and not the cause of our economic and political woes. Make no mistake, Fiat Currency and the Privately Owned Central Banking System is the Death Star, the primary weapon and source of power for the Dark Side of the Force. Take this away and their Empire crumbles. Again my thanks to Mr. Plummer for helping define the problem and see through the subterfuge. CT Campbell

This is an excellent, well-written book. It is an easy read and full of good information. However, it does contain a few flaws. First, Plummer focuses on the Quantity Theory of Money and ignores the Quality Theory of Money. He does not discuss commercial money, which is created by retailers and their suppliers, or the real bills doctrine — important discussions for any book on money. (Most books about money and monetary systems fail to discuss them.) Second, his definition of fiat money, which is money backed by nothing, is flawed. Fiat money issued through the banking system has backing: the promissory note on which the loan is made. Also, to the extent that a central bank holds gold, that gold backs its notes and checkbook money although they are not redeemable in gold. According to Plummer’s definition, silver dollars issued between 1878 and 1900 would not be fiat money. However, they were fiat money as the government decided how many to issue and the monetary value of the coin exceeded the value of its metal content. A better definition of fiat money is if the government or its central bank regulates the quantity of money, it is fiat regardless of the material of which it is made. If the markets regulate the quantity of money, it is not fiat. Plummer has written a good introduction for anyone wanting to learn about today’s monetary system and how and why we have it.
