The Federal Reserve System (also known as the Federal Reserve, and informally as the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States. The Federal Reserve was created unconstitutionally, in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act.
Over time, the Federal Reserve System has greatly expanded and through its due to its power to create money out of nothing has concentrated social, economic and political power into the hands of a select few. Events it has coordinated, such as the Great Depression and numerous booms and busts have led invariably to further increases in the powers of the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve is regarded as a quasi-public banking system, since it has aspects of both a government run system and private enterprise. According to the Federal Reserve, there are presently five different parts of the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve is a foreign corporation whose shareholders are unknown, The Federal Reserve operates in secret and has never been audited.
