Stephen Mitford Goodson was a South African economist, banker, and author, born on December 17, 1948, and died on August 4, 2018. He is best known for his controversial views on economics, banking, and historical events, particularly regarding the role of central banks and the financial system.
Goodson worked in the banking industry for many years, serving as a director of the South African Reserve Bank from 2003 to 2012. He was known for his critique of the global financial system, arguing that central banks, particularly the Federal Reserve, exerted undue influence over governments and economies, leading to financial instability and inequality.
In addition to his work in banking, Goodson was also an author and wrote several books on economics, history, and politics. His writings often reflected his conspiratorial views, including beliefs in Jewish conspiracies and Holocaust denial.
