With the problems banks in the United States are facing some of you may be tempted to do some research into the United States Banking System. I have been doing some reading into this subject and I’d like to share with you my reading material. The first item that I recommend you check out is this link from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_central_banking_in_the_United_States
then briefly stop by here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banking_in_the_United_States
Once you’re done reading these Wikipedia articles I recommend you checkout the following e-books (free btw):
- The Origins of the Federal Reserve by Murray N. Rothbard
- A History of Central Banking in the United States published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis
- Rothbard, Murray N. / Richardson & Snyder. 1983. The Mystery of Banking Full 177-page text in pdf format.
If you find any other good articles or e-books feel free to suggest them to me as I’m highly interested in this subject. Take care everyone.
