Well I'm probably double your age and have done far more exploring of the world that anyone else I know. I can recommend an excellent book on the history of the Fed, actually the history of the creation of money. It's called Money Grows on The Tree of Knowledge by Tracy R Twyman. She was one of the smartest people I have ever known. All her work is excellent, no one is in her league. She was suicided a few months ago.
That book has actually been on my reading list, but thank you for the recommendation, that means a lot. I'm currently halfway through the Creature from Jekyll Island, a book that I cannot recommend highly enough. You may or may not believe this, but the Creature book was so infamous when it was first released to the public that the few people who wanted to buy the first editions had to sign a list and a waiver. The government was worried that some people would attempt to use the book as a method of starting riots or class wars.
