G. Edward Griffin has perhaps done more than anyone to raise understanding of the Federal Reserve and unbacked fiat currencies, up there with former Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX).

In this episode we discuss how people can better inform themselves on economics and get past the confusing data and jargon they often find in major media outlets. Further, he gives his thoughts on where monetary systems are headed.
