This is more than a conspiracy book, it is a thought provoking, eye opening book that will show you what's really going in behind the monetary system. After reading this book I am convinced that the monetary system is corrupt and flawed.The author does a good job of explaining things in a noncondenscending way, talking with you, rather than talk down to you, I found this tone helped make the whole book become an easier read. It explores the good news: there is enough money for everyone! The bad news is, the masses do not know the system that the rich are using, so the poor remain poor and the rich get richer. There is an illusion--that money is limiited. But that's all it is, an illusion. However, those who believe in it will make that a reality for themselves.The author takes us to a journey, to better understand money, where it originated, and how it evolved and became more and more complex over time. From this, we are shown how the safe keepers of money (the banker's of the old times) gave people certificates that were written how much gold the people had deposited. But these bankers realized that most people who deposited their gold and silver didn't really go back frequently to check on their gold and silver, so the bankers started writing more certificates than there was any actual gold and silver in their safe keeping  (as if the certificates had any real value in themselves). This created a problem. If you keep printing money again and again, and then keep printing money until everyone has so much money and no one is poor, who will work? That's why the monetary system is flawed. They kept printing money, but had nothing to back up that money. It's just paper money (but the masses still believe it has value and so it does. When the masses wake up and realize the money no longer has value, it will be too late). money has no value, but gold, silver, food, water, goods, have real value. And the problem continues to today.This is the system that old bankers have made, and since we're several generations away from the origin of this system, it's a bit hard for us to get out of it and it's hard for us to see what's wrong with it. Money is being printed again and again, but all that's being done is really fooling ourselves.The book also covers the collective beliefs of people, and how that can turn whatever they believe in into reality. The tone is light, it's easy to read, and straight to the point, but don't be fooled, there are some thoughts here that should be taken seriously.The author has a way with words, making the read almost poetic, and entertaining, while teaching at the same time.  The author is able to explain complex ideas in ways that are easy to understand. Overall, a read that keeps you well informed, and gets you to take action and find out more.Favorite quotes: "When we think there is not enough, then this becomes our individual reality that we create" and "When there are enough people who think in terms of scarcity and lack and we collectively view it on this broader scale, this then becomes a dangerous world view.""there are enough untruths around that do not help, but rather keep us in the 'money prison'"
