📖 Overview
Eustace Mullins (1923-2010) was an American writer known for his controversial books on banking, politics, and conspiracy theories. His most widely circulated work was "Secrets of the Federal Reserve" (1952), which criticized the Federal Reserve System and alleged hidden control of monetary policy.
Mullins worked as a researcher for poet Ezra Pound in the late 1940s when Pound was incarcerated at St. Elizabeths Hospital. This association led to Mullins' first book about the Federal Reserve, which Pound encouraged him to write.
