Whoever thought a history book could be this exciting! In the "Financial Vipers of Venice", Joseph P Farrell investigates the activities of the "banksters" that moved from Mesopotamia (as discussed in Babylon's Banksters) to Venice. The book makes for interesting reading as Farrell follows Venetian activities, including the manipulation of Popes, Kings and princes, the manipulation of bullion prices, clipped coins, sacking of Constantinople, destruction of Florence, waging wars, assassinations, and suppressed hidden secrets that threatened their financial supremacy (old Christopher Columbus makes an appearance here). In this book, Farrell shows how the modern global economy began in the Middle Ages and also discusses the origin of money.

This book is interesting and well-written. I hope he publishes the next book(s?) soon as I can't wait to find out what shenanigans the Annuitary Asps of Amsterdam, the Collateralized Cobras of the City of London and the Weasels of Wall Street were/are up to.
