<<The Anglo-Dutch monetary system is a money-as-debt system. The Bank of England, the Fed, all the modern central banks operate within that tradition.>>

It makes sense then that this model is fatally flawed.

<<

Schacht operated outside the Anglo-Dutch tradition--therefore, compared to his American counterpart, he was not using money, i.e. money-as-debt, to enable Germany to revive its economy.>>

I read somewhere that this was the real reason for the ensuing war.

There is a recent german book on Schacht called "Hjalmar Schacht: Aufstieg und Fall von Hitlers machtigstem Bankier" by Christopher Kopper, HANSER Copyright 2006 400pages.

I'm not finished learning german yet but this could be a good source of independent information rather than relying on Schachts own perhaps biased views.
