| Summary | An antisemitic conspiracy theory alleging that Jewish individuals or families control the U.S. Federal Reserve and, through it, the world's money supply. This theory often cites the involvement of Jewish bankers in the Fed's creation and perpetuates the myth of a global Jewish conspiracy. |
| Origin | The theory has roots in early 20th-century antisemitic propaganda, such as 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' and was popularized by figures like Eustace Mullins in the mid-20th century. |
| Claimed |
|
| Evidence / consensus | The Federal Reserve is a public institution with a diverse leadership. There is no evidence of Jewish control, and the theory is widely recognized as an antisemitic canard. |
