DOC U.S. Revenue Cutters of the Civil War by Florence Kern in History

Description

Gottfried Feder’s Manifesto for Breaking the Financial Slavery to Interest is one of a series of three books by the important; albeit now obscure German campaigner against parasitic debt-finance-capitalism. It was Feder who gave opposition to debt-finance and a demand for a new banking system a technical foundation without which the National Socialist economic and financial policies might not have gone beyond a vague enmity towards capitalism because of its identification with Jews. Feder attempted to interest the Munich Soviet in his ideas for banking reform; but in good Marxist fashion; this fell on deaf ears. It was left to the embryonic National Socialist group to see in Feder’s ideas the means of achieving both freedom from debt-bondage and the means by which the state could assume its prime duty to issue the community’s own credit limited only by its productivity and creativity. Even though; as the Reich progressed; Feder; like many other early idealists; was relegated to minor rank within the Third Reich; his fundamental ideas provided the basis for Germany’s socio-economic revival while the rest of the world wallowed in Depression. In this respect Feder is Germany’s equivalent to New Zealand’s John A. Lee; Australia’s Jack Lang; U.S.A.’s Father Charles Coughlin; and Britain’s C. H. Douglas and Arthur Kitson. Feder deserves an honoured place amongst the early fighters against usury-capital; a subject which continues to be; perhaps more than ever; of vital relevance to the world.
