After Nixon halted gold convertibility in 1971, the Fed has been able to print money without restraint. That money first flows to a select few, which has enabled the top 1% to acquire and control 40% of all the wealth in America and control an aggregate net worth that is greater than the bottom 90% of Americans combined.
