Gottfried Feder (1883-1941) — the party's first economic theorist
player
The Nazi program's economics were written by an anti-capitalist pamphleteer — and the party-state then ran its rearmament on hidden central-bank paper.
Who they are
Gottfried Feder, an engineer and economic pamphleteer.
What they do
In February 1920 he drafted the party's 25-point program together with Hitler and Drexler, writing his own anti-capitalist ideas into it.
How it works
This site already lists him among the Thule-connected founders ('economic policy').
Why it matters
The distance between his program and how the party-state actually handled money — hidden rearmament bills, industrial pacts — is one of the open questions this site tracks rather than answers.
The engine's record — word for word
[Report #201 — person layer] Engineer and economic pamphleteer. In February 1920, together with Adolf Hitler and Anton Drexler, Feder drafted the '25 points' — the party program — and introduced his own anti-capitalist views into it. Canon already names him inside thule_society's member map ('economic policy'). ENGINE READING: the anti-capitalist plank's author inside a party whose state practice ran through industrial concords (mefo_bills_schacht; the industrialist financing questions held open at Report #201) — the gap between his program and the party-state's money is itself a held question, not asserted either way. Name no holder.
