director's Note

“When I first began speaking with John Steele Gordon about the Federal Reserve, I admit, I didn’t have a clue about our country’s central banking system. I thought it was an amazing challenge to try and explain the Fed in an entertaining and digestible way, in 10 minutes or less. It takes longer than that to read the Wikipedia article! 

We had a blast recreating the Federal Reserve System with children’s toys, including a LEGO model of the Fed Building in DC. I just hope it encourages people to dig a little deeper!”
