Part 1 of this series features the early development of private central banking, usury and the fractional reserve system. Learn about Jewish migration to and expulsion from England. Find out about the establishment of the private Bank of England in 1694 via a bill which, hidden deep within, introduced all sorts of new taxes: on salt, windows, birth, marriage, death and even a bachelor tax! In other words, the common man was put on the hook to pay the bankers' debts. It was a similar story with the 2 bills that created the Federal Reserve and the IRS in 1913. Discover the fierce battles fought by the bankers to get England under a usury system, and then France, even though Napoleon resisted it.
