Gottfried Feder

Gottfried Feder was a German economist and politician, best known for founding the German Workers' Party, which later became the Nazi Party. He advocated for radical economic reforms, primarily opposing loans from banks and the concept of interest on debt, which he believed oppressed ordinary Germans. Feder aimed to promote economic independence and reduce the influence of international finance by encouraging national self-sufficiency. His ideas emphasized anti-capitalist and anti-banking sentiments, contributing to the ideological foundation of Nazi economic policy, although his influence diminished as the party evolved under other leaders.
