Merge back into Federal Reserve & Central bank pages

Per WP:CSECTION and Wikipedia:POVFORK, should we try and merge this into the pages on the Federal Reserve (for criticism specific to the Fed) and central banks (for generic criticism of the concept of central banking)?

Right now the article's also a bit of a weird hodgepodge of conspiracy theories/misunderstandings, criticism of central banking on philosophical grounds, and criticisms of past Fed policy (instead of the Fed itself). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 17:40, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
