The gates protecting America have been left undefended. September 11th demonstrated only one aspect of this problem. Our people have been under monetary attack from within and from abroad for most of our history, and the physical, financial and psychological damage has far exceeded the terrible losses at the Twin Towers.
An entire generation has been led astray. A dysfunctional media focuses on the elections and personal lives of politicians while the real outcomes in society are determined behind the scenes by the structure of the nation’s monetary system.
This problem goes much deeper than accounting and stock fraud, and even beyond the graduate schools of business that have inculcated such criminal behavior. The deeper cause lies hidden in the structurally corrupt core of our banking system and our schools of economics. It arises from the falsehoods they have spread on the nature of money, allowing their patrons to control the money power, and in turn to dominate our society, deforming humanity in the process.
Those who really want to get to the bottom of the problem will find this book’s message timely and valuable.
From the Inside Flap
What’s Gone Wrong?
Unheard-of wealth concentrates into very few, largely undeserving hands. Americans work harder and produce more than ever but increasingly fall into debt and bankruptcy while corruption rules, and predators plunder society by merely shuffling papers. Less than 1% of hte population now owns about 50% of the wealth, and receives 70% of the income! The Lost Science of Money shows how a false concept of money allowed this to happen, and explains how to reverse it.
Secret Power Unmasked:
Here are the keys that unlock the mystery of the money power – the hidden force secretly exercised by those holding society’s monetary reins. The Lost Science of Money exposes the mythology created to protect those who are embezzling from society, under cover of a deceptive ideology of money.
The author provides the weapons needed to protect self, family, nation and humanity from the predations of this gang, that has shrouded itself under cover of “econo-speak” for so long.
These ideas are presented accurately, but in “down to earth” language, without the confusing economic jargon that has usually served to obfuscate the subject. Historical cases with 119 illustrations help to convey the author’s unique message.
About the Author
Stephen Zarlenga draws upon 35 years of experience in the world of finance, securities, insurance, mutual funds, real estate and futures trading. He has published 20 books on money, banking, politics and philosophy (including ‘The Anglo American Establishment’ by Prof. Carrol Quigley). While in his mid-2os he incorporated the Athenian branch of an English life insurance company, earlier opening several European markets for the parent firm, IOS.
A few years later he built the US distribution network of the then leading American mutual fund concentrating in gold shares. As a member of the New York Futures Exchange (a subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange), he specialized in trading the complex CRB futures index for several years.
Thus the author is more than familiar with both the practical and theoretical sides of our market economy. And yet, he calls into question and challenges the basis, and Achilles’ hell, of American Capitalism: the private control and resulting misdirection of the nation’s monetary system.
Stephen Zarlenga holds a degree in Psychology from the University of Chicago (and has done postgraduate work at NYU), where he was in the final graduating class under the revered Hutchins’ curriculum which focused on critical reading and thought. This training, combined with his owrk experience, and years of research, enabled him to re-forumlate the Lost Science of Money.
The author began focused research on the money problem in 1991, eventually drawing on over 800 monetary sources, books and materials to formulate this thesis. In 1996, he helped establish the American Monetary Institute to further the research.
