Progressive Radio News Hour - Ellen Brown - 01/26/14

Brown is a civil litigation attorney, distinguished author, and frequent writer on financial issues.

She heads the Public Banking Institute (PBI). It's an initiative to return money power to the people where it belongs.

Her new book is an invaluable "Web of Debt" sequel. It comes at a critical time. It's titled "The Public Bank Solution: From Austerity to Prosperity."

Privatized money control assures speculation, booms, busts, inflation, deflation, instability, crises, recessions, depressions, deprivation and despair.

Public banks work as intended. Inflation-free prosperity follows. It's a "practical, proven approach." It works the same way everywhere.

It's the antidote to corrupted, dysfunctional privatized banking.

Brown's latest writing will be discussed.
