Dissecting the Network of 17 Financial Families That Have Ruled the World for 300 Years
A blueprint for global finance, eagerly read by Chinese officials and businessmen

Were the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2008 global economic crisis truly unpredictable and unstoppable natural disasters? Author Song Hongbing, who became interested in the hidden role of financial elites during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, served as a consultant for the US financial industry, particularly Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-backed mortgage companies, and gained exposure to derivatives, solidifying his perspective.

In Volume 1, the author traced in detail how the monetary system evolved according to the interests of the international financial elite, focusing on the dollar. In "Currency Wars 2: The World of Money," the author uses extensive historical materials and cool logic to trace how the international financial elite families formed and developed over a period of 300 years and came to reign as the de facto rulers of Western society.

In historical studies, the influence of the interests of the ruling class on society is always considered important.
However, when we move on to modern and contemporary Western history, the analysis of the ruling class suddenly disappears, and various international issues are treated as public issues, such as issues of national interests or ideology.
It is at this very point that the author raises a question.
Does this mean all those in power and the ruling class have suddenly vanished from the stage of history? He points out that the West, like the East, is a society driven by people, and emphasizes the need to focus on the intricate networks of financial elite families, intertwined through marriage and alliances.
The network of connections that play a crucial role in the international community, including the financial industry, government agencies, major oil companies, the arms industry, the pharmaceutical industry, mass media and lobbyists, judicial and legislative bodies, NGOs, the vast foundation system, and think tanks, is said to be a compass that accurately understands trends in the international community, such as financial crises, wars, revolutions, riots, and coups.

In the preface, the author states, “All human social structures are typically pyramidal in shape.
Only a critical minority of people have the opportunity to rise through the social ladder through their intelligence and diligence.
In some cases, violence and deception are used.
In any case, when these people acquire sufficient wealth and influence, they turn the tables and try to solidify or expand their vested interests,” he says, thoroughly applying his perspective on human characteristics and human history to the entire contents of this book.
Through extensive research, it shows that behind all wars, revolutions, and crises around the world, that is, events with large vested interests, there was invariably a fierce battle between international financial families that cast a shadow, such as Bismarck's unification of Germany, World Wars I and II, the founding of Israel, post-war hyperinflation in Germany, Hitler's rise to power, the development of nuclear weapons, spy wars, the birth and growth of the British Intelligence Service, the OSS, the Mossad, and the CIA, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and the 2008 global economic crisis.

Song Hongbing continues to emphasize that we must learn lessons from history.
Inflation, public funds being injected to save too-big-to-fail banks, and other such incidents have been repeated throughout history.
Every time we experience a deliberately engineered crisis, enormous wealth is transferred from ordinary people to the financial elite.

Looking back on past history, what he wants to say is a warning for the future.
The aging of the baby boomers in the US and Europe, who have driven the global economic boom for the past two decades, and the exponentially increasing US debt inevitably portend the decline of the dollar.
He presents various evidences showing that the international financial elites are planning to make a fresh start in the era of a new world single currency by transferring the dollar's decline not to the downfall of the United States, but to export-oriented countries that have earned foreign currency through the bankruptcy and debt relief of the United States, including China, which holds a lot of US Treasury bonds.
