The Monarchs of Money ~ The Central Bankers





The world's central banks have printed unimaginable amounts of money in recent years. Neil Macdonald explores what this means for the global economy and for your financial well-being.
Power Shift: First in a series on the rise of the central bankers and the global imposition of cheap credit Quietly, without much public fuss or discussion, a new ruling class has risen in the richer nations.

In fact, these individuals now wield at least as much influence over the lives of ordinary citizens as prime ministers and presidents
