In an earlier post, I wrote about the need to ask good questions, no matter how satisfactory the answers are to the ones we currently ask. They’re simply not good enough if we’re asking the wrong questions. I followed that post with Part 1 of a series, “The Root of All Evil.” In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul wrote that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. In today’s world, controlling money, and using that control for one’s advantage, is surely even worse than merely wanting more money. Or, as John Piper explains, money is a symbol of buying power, or “stuff,” and even the old translation, “the root of all evil” (as opposed to “all kinds of”) is accurate.
Regardless, understanding the Federal Reserve System is key to understanding our monetary problem. Below is a video that describes the operations of the Fed, and an explanation as to why the Fed is responsible for so many misdeeds.
