The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame by Willem Middelkoop

Chapter 1 – The History of 
Money
The few who understand the (money) system will either be so 
interested from its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that 
there will be no opposition from that class.
– Rothschild Brothers of London, (1773-1855)
When you or I write a check there must be sufficient funds in out 
account to cover the check, but when the Federal Reserve writes 
a check there is no bank deposit on which that check is drawn. 
When the Federal Reserve writes a check, it is creating money.
– From Putting It Simply by the Boston Federal Reserve 
Bank (1984)
There’s no limit to central bank expanding its balance sheet in 
theory.
– Dennis Lockhart, Chairman of the board of the Federal 
Reserve Bank of Atlanta (2012)
Inflation is a more fundamental danger than speculative invest-

ment. Some countries seem to be in the unusual situation where 
they are trying to create inflation. They will come to regret that.
– Paul Volcker (2013)
The old saying is that ‘figures will not lie,’ but a new saying is ‘liars 
will figure.’ It is our duty, as practical statisticians, to prevent the 
liar from figuring; in other words, to prevent him from perverting 
the truth, in the interest of some theory he wishes to establish.
– Carroll D. Wright, statistician addressing the Convention 
of Commissioners of Bureaus of Statistics of Labor (1889)
INTRO
Although we talk about money on a daily basis and most of us 
work hard for it, few stop to reflect on what money actually is and 
what it means. Even people working in the world of finance often 
do not comprehend what money is all about. The fact that money 
is created out of thin air and in the form of credit is quite difficult 
to understand. This important little secret is not taught at most 
schools and is actually only understood by a confined group of 
financial insiders. This is not necessarily a bad thing. According 
to Henry Ford, the famous car manufacturer, a revolution would 
break out before dawn if people got wind of how our money 
system really works
