One of the most controversial of all government organizations, the Federal Reserve inflames passions on both sides of the political aisle. Money Gods is the most reasoned and positive assessment to date of the impact the Federal Reserve has on markets, investing, and American lives. This book traces the history of the Fed, the role it plays in the financial system, how it formulates and implements policies and the effect it has on the investments of Americans at large. It presents a calm, considered argument that the Fed has more often than not acted decisively for the good of the country.
