G. Edward Griffin joined us today. For those not familiar with his work, he wrote the definitive book on the Federal Reserve--The Creature From Jekyll Island, which details the shady dealings that went on to pass the Federal Reserve Act through Congress.

The island is off the coast of the U.S. state of Georgia. In November 1910, Senator Nelson W. Aldrich and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Department A.P.
