Fed Up: An Insider's Take on Why the Federal Reserve Is Bad for America

A Federal Reserve insider reveals the secretive institution that controls America’s economy, and unveils the toxic culture it owns. Danielle DiMartino Booth found a cabal of unelected academics who without a slightest understanding of the real world who are in position, slave to their theoretical models. Booth was appalled to uncover just how much tunnel vision, arrogance, liberal dogma, and abuse of power drove the core policies of the Fed. Through her firsthand experience with dozens of high-powered market players, reams of financial data, and Fed docu­ments such as transcripts of FOMC meetings, Booth calls for a change in the way America’s most powerful financial institution is run - before it’s too late.
