The National Debt and You: What it Is, How it Works, and Why it Matters
by Joseph Solis-Mullen
About The Book
In this short book, the Libertarian Institute's Joseph Solis-Mullen takes readers behind the headlines to the nuts and bolts of the national debt, detailing what the debt consists of, how the debt is originated, bought, and sold, and why this mounting fiscal liability matters. Beyond this, he provides a primer on understanding Federal Reserve jargon, a history of money and banking in the United States since World War II, and a review of several recent works that attempt to provide templates for reforms to the present system.
