At about the same time a man appeared on our horizon who later acquired some
influence, the engineer, Gottfried Feder. He maintained that the great economic crises
were entirely due to what he termed interest slavery into which every nation in the
world had gradually fallen because of mobile loan and finance capital. He made a clear
distinction between that and the earth-bound industrial capital whose protection, he
said, was definitely one of the tasks of the state. How could money multiply itself? How
could capital increase without working, merely through the endless accruing of interests?
To save, yes, that was the result of work. But coupon-clipping, no! Hence, gradual
reorganisation, and the eventual end of interest slavery and the entire system of interest
economy. In these unsettled times such an idea intrigued a great many people. Some of
his theories were indubitably correct, and in fighting usury we had, after all, no intention
of doing away with a national industry. Eckart took them up with enthusiasm and
proclaimed the idea of government control of the entire credit system, saying if anybody
protested that this would cause the collapse of the entire world, well, then let this world
collapse. Feder himself spoke at many meetings of an organisation, founded by him to
abolish interest slavery, and later made contact with the growing National Socialist
German Workers' Party. Like many others who concentrate on a mere symptom of the
totality of events, Feder's development was rather like that of a sectarian who considers
himself the very hub of things.
