Summary
Today, we’re diving into one of the most intriguing and controversial chapters in U.S. financial history: the creation of the Federal Reserve. The story begins on a remote island in Georgia, where, in November 1910, a group of elite bankers and policymakers gathered in complete secrecy. This secret meeting took place at the Jekyll Island Club, a retreat for the country’s wealthiest and most powerful, far from the prying eyes of the public and media.
