Opposing the Money Lenders - The Struggle to Abolish
Interest Slavery is a collection of writings from some of
the most determined fighters against usury and the Central Banking
system during the 20th Century. Those included are Arthur Nelson
Field, John A. Lee, John Hargrave, Ezra Pound, Father Charles
Coughlin, and Gottfried Feder, who fought and inspired mass
movements that struggled to liberate their nations from the forces
of what one - Gottfried Feder - aptly called "Mammonism."
The subject of the supply of our money, and who controls it, is
the greatest social issue that confronts humanity today. It is the
"Hidden Hand" behind history. Without dealing with the problems of
banking and usury, without a people having control over its own
means of credit and exchange, there can be no genuine nationhood,
and no real freedom, whether personal or national.
Almost every individual, family, nation, indeed most of the world,
is today in thrall to the money lenders. Despite advances in
mechanisation and technology, people are working longer hours, and
are more enslaved to the economic treadmill than were their
ancestors in Medieval times. At the same time, despite mass
education, people today understand the economic and financial
system far less than their parents and grandparents. Opposing the
Money Lenders examines our parasitic financial system and the means
by which it might be replaced.
This eclectic collection examines the way laws regulate
geographical space and includes detailed case studies of the impact
of law on animal resources, children of divorce and where they
live, aboriginal rights, and street protest. The contributors of
these writings are the winners of a legal analysis and reform essay
competition organized by the Law Commission of Canada. The goal of
these essays is to stimulate critical and multidisciplinary
discussion and debate about fundamental issues of law and society.
