Dear Readers:
I am pleased to announce that I have (finally) completed my new book, “The Control and Manipulation of Money”. It is available for free download at:
httpss://fremontvalleybooks.com
The book consists of two parts. Part 1 (chapters 1 to 6) discusses basic economics: wealth, capital, labor, rent, credit, taxation, the causes of expansions and recessions, inflation, and national debt. It also includes examples of monetary depreciation (inflation), the effects of inflation, and the operation of the various banking systems (including central banks under a fractional reserve system). It is primarily a refutation of the common false claims made by “progressive” socialists.
Part 2 (chapters 7 to 24) is a complete financial and economic history of the U. S. from 1775 to 2020; starting with the Continentals during the Revolution, the first and second Banks of the United States, the National Banking system, and the Federal Reserve system. It includes all the relevant legislation that changed the banking system and describes the causes of recessions. Each chapter contains a full set of data: U. S. government revenues and expenditures, national debt, condition statements of the banking system, money supply, coinage, consumer price index (the metric for depreciation of money), and income index. Part 2 will provide you with all the necessary facts about the monetary situation in the U. S. throughout our history.
Thanks,
EDD
In Part 1 is a tutorial on basic economics, covering wealth, money, prices, capital, rent, labor, economic expansions and contractions, inequality, debt, credit, monetary inflation, and national debt. It details the causes and consequences of monetary inflation, and the role of central banks contributing to it.
In The Federalist Companion, author Edward D. Duvall explains in detail why the Articles of Confederation failed after the Revolutionary War. The result was a union of the states under the U.S. Constitution. This book is a great aid to understanding the defense of the Constitution presented by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay in The Federalist Papers.
In Can You Afford That Student Loan, author Edward Duvall explains how to evaluate whether a student loan makes sense economically. It includes a unique nomographic system for seeing the whole picture of debt, income, and repayment.
Part 2 contains a complete financial and economic history of the U. S. from 1775 to 2020, based on official reports from the U. S. Treasury, the Comptroller of the Currency, and Federal Reserve Bulletins, including:
a) Growth and nature of the money supply;
b) The various banking systems (First & Second Banks of the U. S., State-chartered Banks, the National Banking System, and the Federal Reserve);
c) U. S. Government revenues and expenditures;
d) U. S. national debt;
e) Coinage;
f) Banking system condition statements;
g) CPI and median income from 1800 to 2020, along with a "standard of living index"; and
h) A description of significant monetary and financial legislation since the adoption of the Constitution.
