Book Offers Solution to Money Issues

In To the Mystery

By Ken Steele

Money is somewhat of a mystery to me. How is it that we cannot afford to end homelessness and child poverty in Canada, but we can afford the war in Afghanistan, at an estimated cost to Canada of over $18 billion dollars so far, and security at the 2010 Winter Olympics , at an estimated cost of up to $1 billion dollars? Is it simply a case of misplaced priorities or a lack of political will or is there a more systemic explanation?

An astute analysis of our monetary system entitled "Web of Debt" by Ellen Brown provides insight into how, and by whom, money is created. In this book, which you can obtain for free (online at ), Brown emphasizes that banks possessing money-issuing power, rather than government, are major sources of our past and present monetary problems. Although it is an American publication, "Web of Debt" has significant relevance for Canadians. Did you know, for instance, that in the U.S.A. the Federal Reserve is not a government agency, but rather "a consortium of very large private banks; or that 97% of currency exist only as computer entries?"

Brown not only delineates the issues, but also proposes a solution. A solution that would benefit us. You can do something about the monetary problems that may be touching your life. Read "Web of Debt" and then take action.
