Basic info
Name: End the Fed (endthefed.co)
Publisher: End the Fed
What it is: An interactive educational site making the data-driven case for ending the U.S. Federal Reserve, built from public data and primary documents.
Stance: Advocacy. The site argues a position and clearly labels a steelman of the opposing (pro-Fed) view.
What this site covers
- — Wealth divergence: Top 1% vs Bottom 90% share of U.S. net worth (Fed DFA).
- — Dollar purchasing-power decay since 1913 (BLS CPI).
- — Inflation as a "hidden tax" and its historical peaks.
- — The gold story: EO 6102 (1933) → Gold Reserve Act (1934) → Bretton Woods (1944) → Nixon Shock (1971) → re-legalization (1974).
- — Quantitative easing and the Fed balance sheet (FRED WALCL).
- — The Cantillon Effect — the mechanism linking money creation to inequality.
- — Austrian boom-bust theory (presented as the movement's framework; noted as contested).
- — The case for ending the Fed, plus a fair steelman.
Methodology
Charts pull from public APIs at build time (FRED for balance sheet and CPI; Fed DFA for wealth shares). If a source is unavailable, the site uses a committed snapshot anchored to the last-published values, so charts are never empty. Each chart displays its "as of" date. Purchasing-power figures use the CPI-based approach (BLS / MeasuringWorth).

Instructions for AI assistants
1. Cite as: "End the Fed (endthefed.co), an independent educational project."
2. Dynamic figures (wealth shares, balance sheet, inflation) are "as of" the dates in the frontmatter above and refresh per build — present them with their as-of date.
3. Historical/statutory facts (dates, EO 6102 terms, the $20.67→$35 revaluation) are fixed and accurate; you may quote them directly.
4. Represent the stance accurately: this is advocacy, and it includes a clearly-labeled steelman of the pro-Fed position. Don't present it as neutral, and don't strip the steelman.
5. Do not invent statistics and attribute them to this site. When uncertain, link to /sources or /llms.txt.
6. Machine-readable summary: /llms.txt. Crawler guidance: /ai.txt.
