Dive deep into the origins of the Federal Reserve and discover how money shaped a nation. Explore the untold story that changed the course of history.
A gripping saga of power, deception, and the relentless pursuit to control the American dollar.
History, as we are taught it, is written by the victors. Yet everything in our modern world ultimately revolves around money — and those who control it.
The first 150 years of American history reveal a violent, high-stakes struggle for control over the dollar — a saga of manufactured panics, wars, and assassinations.
From the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 to the final creation of the Federal Reserve, this is the financial story that shaped the world we live in today.
A native New Yorker, John Indelicato’s journey began in Brooklyn before the United States Air Force shaped his discipline and drive. In 1972, he launched what would become a landmark 50-year career on Wall Street, starting at Merrill Lynch.
John quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a member and precious metals floor trader on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). His expertise took him around the world, advising high-net-worth investors on risk management, portfolio hedging, and market arbitrage.
Now, John brings that same depth of knowledge to the page — telling the financial story that history books left out.
