If you are interested in how elite banksters manipulate the world, then a great introduction is Against Oligarchy by Webster Tarpley.
And it's free!
I recall the book as one pdf - you can still find it as one file at archive.org. Don't forget to download everything, as it may not be there next time.
This particular story focuses on the genesis of the Venetian oligarchy and its metastasis to London - and from there, to the rest of the world.
It isn't just about banking but also about all the other social vectors needed to control a compliant and largely ignorant mass of humans - like science and religions.
Also worth reading is "9/11 Synthetic Terror". I wish the publishers would drop the "9/11" thing as much of the book is a more profound look at the wider issue of global fake terrorism. You know the kind of things - those events that are supposed to generate fake anger and fake fear! If you ever have an emotional reaction to the news, then you've been had!
