In the post-meltdown world, it is irresponsible,
ineffective, and ultimately useless to have a serious economic
debate without considering and challenging the role of the Federal
Reserve.
Most people think of the Fed as an indispensable institution
without which the country''s economy could not properly function.
But in END THE FED, Ron Paul draws on American history, economics,
and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue
that the Fed is both corrupt and unconstitutional. It is inflating
currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level, a practice
that threatens to put us into an inflationary depression where $100
bills are worthless. What most people don''t realize is that the Fed
-- created by the Morgans and Rockefellers at a private club off
the coast of Georgia -- is actually working against their own
personal interests. Congressman Paul''s urgent appeal to all
citizens and officials tells us where we went wrong and what we
need to do fix America''s economic policy for future
generations.

Ron Paul, an eleven-term congressman from Texas, is the
leading advocate of freedom in our nation''s capital. He has devoted
his political career to the defense of individual liberty, sound
money, and a non-interventionist foreign policy. Judge Andrew
Napolitano calls him "the Thomas Jefferson of our day."
After serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force in the
1960s, Dr. Paul moved to Texas to begin a civilian medical
practice, delivering over four thousand babies in his career as an
obstetrician. He served in Congress from 1976 to 1984, and again
from 1996 to the present. He and Carol Paul, his wife of fifty-one
years, have five children, eighteen grandchildren, and one
great-grandchild.
Ron Paul, the New York Post once wrote, is a politician
who "cannot be bought by special interests."
"There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin,
rain or shine, stick to their principles," added a congressional
colleague. "Ron Paul is one of those few."
