Clark and Wallace Campbell is a critical exploration of the Federal Reserve System, likely written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a pointed examination of the banking system's actions, asserting that it operates more like a "parasite" on the economy rather than a beneficial institution. The authors aim to raise awareness about the supposed injustices and exploitations perpetrated by the Federal Reserve, suggesting that it is a tool for a “superior class” to oppress the common people. The opening portion of the text introduces the authors' vehement critique of the Federal Reserve System, likening it to a monstrous octopus that exploits American industry and labor. They argue that the system is a façade for central banking, designed to dominate the economy without the public’s knowledge or consent. The authors provide historical context, recounting previous failed attempts to establish a central bank in the U.S., framing the Federal Reserve as a deceptive resurrection of those earlier efforts. Through vivid language and passionate rhetoric, they establish the tone for what appears to be a thorough indictment of financial manipulation at the expense of the American populace, setting up readers for an encompassed view of the systemic issues they believe are inherent in the Federal Reserve's operations.
