Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve



"The Federal Reserve System virtually controls the nation's monetary system, yet it is accountable to no one. It has no budget; it is subject to no audit; and no Congressional Committee knows of, or can truly supervise, its operations."

These are the words of the late professor Murray N. Rothbard, economist and academic advisor of the Ludwig von Mises Institute. The institute is dedicated to the ideals of a free market and sound money. This program is dedicated to the memory of Murray N. Rothbard and his prolific work on money and banking.
