It’s November 22nd. In 1910, a group of the most powerful bankers in the country were invited to the secluded Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia, to develop a plan for what would eventually become the Federal Reserve.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Jacob Goldstein of Pushkin Industries to discuss the cloak and dagger arrangements for the meeting, why there was so much pressure to develop a plan, and how it changed the US economy.

Jacob’s book is “Money: The True Story of a Made Up Thing.” And his podcast is What’s Your Problem.
