Fed Conspiracy Used in Teaching Money and Banking (United States. Federal Reserve Board) (Report‪)‬

ABSTRACT This paper examines how a Federal Reserve "conspiracy theory" booklet, Billions for the Bankers, Debts for the People, can be used at the end-of-the-semester in a money and banking course. Readings such as this one are commonly available from various distributors and also exist on various web sites. Much of the knowledge and many of the economic concepts learned during the semester can be applied to this and similar readings to explain how some parts of these conspiracy readings are based on fact, and how the addition of some creative thinking along with these facts can create conspiracy theories.
