DECEPTION AND ABUSE AT THE FED, Henry B. Gonzalez and Alan Greenspan's Bank
Author: Robert D. Aurbach
Price: $24.95
Shipping: $3.75
The Federal Reserve-the central bank of the United States-is the most powerful peacetime bureaucracy in the federal government. Under the chairmanship of Alan Greenspan(1987-2006) the Fed operated with little oversight. There was a courageous exception to this in efforts by Henry B. Gonzalez (D-TX)Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Banking Committee. Exposed by Gonzalez were false declarations for 17 years that it had no transcripts of its metings, Manipulations of the bond and stock markets, allowing $5.5 billion to be sent to Saddam Hussein, and blocking Congressional investigations. Current events have further exposed the dealings of Greenspan's actions and have added further status to the work of one of the most honest and competent public servants to serve in the Congress. Letters and charts. Austin, TX 2008 The University of Texas Press 1st Ed., 6 x 9, 271 Pgs., HB. | |
