Carroll Quigley "Tragedy & Hope"

Read the reviews on this book.

Carroll Quigley was a Professor at Georgetown University. He was privy to the world of the elite, and in this book he shares the secrets and sinister plot beginning with the Rothschild family of England. The sinister plot spread to the US when Jacob Schiff immigrated to New York. His one goal was to influence the banking system just like what had happened in England, and place it in the hands of a few private investors. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 set them on their way, and was accomplished through a puppet, President Woodrow Wilson.

Quote of Carroll Quigley:

"The powers of financial capitalism had a far reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The opening of the system was to be the Bank for International settlements in Basil, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank sought to dominate its government by its ability to control treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence co-operative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
