Thanks for quoting me. There was a typo there: I meant to write that the Fed is nothing more than a dynastic oligarchy that is hidden in plain sight. We can play semantic games about what is and isn't a conspiracy, what is and isn't collusion, what is and isn't a happy confluence of interests, etc., but The Fed is, was, and has been the financial plaything of a small group of people united by philosophy, values, and, often, marriage. I'll stand by my analog of the NY "crime families." Perhaps you believe that the Warburgs are really superior to the Gambinos. Keep thinking that.
