The Creature from Jekyll Island is a deep dive into the origins of the Federal Reserve, exposing how a secret meeting in 1910 led to the creation of one of the most powerful—and controversial—financial institutions in history. G. Edward Griffin unpacks the Fed’s hidden role in economic booms, busts, inflation, and debt cycles, arguing that it operates more like a cartel than a public servant.
