ribka,
As I said many have an agenda. I would start with researching fiat money and the history of it and the role gold and silver plays
Will Do. The creature from Jekyll Island certainly was an eye opening book and so were the financial books written by Michael Lewis. I was pretty naive before 2008.
Ribka back in the day one of my go to sources was Martin Armstrong. Much of his stuff was online at the time, so I can't recommend specific books.
He was big on the history of the Romans and their money. Many parallels with what is happening today
