New Zealand Social Credit Party

The New Zealand Social Credit Party is a political organization advocating for economic reform based on social credit theory, which emphasizes ensuring consumers have enough income to purchase goods and services. Founded in 1953, it promotes policies like monetary reform, affordable housing, and environmental sustainability, aiming to create a fairer economy with greater government involvement in financial systems. While it has historically been a minor party in New Zealand politics, its focus remains on addressing income inequality and promoting social welfare through monetary and economic policies rooted in social credit principles.
