You've collected many references to Schacht and I appreciate that. Many of them contradict the conclusions you have drawn about him and his policies, especially the pre 1937 efforts to resurrect the German economy. It's clear Schacht was fired by Hitler because he was opposed to further extension of credit for military purposes. The post war trial records make note of this. But since I am not an apologist for Schacht, I'd be interested in your analysis of the Anglo-Dutch money-as-debt tradition, the use of fiat in colonial America as documented by Benjamin Franklin, the Civil War Greenback, and the MEFO program in Germany in the 1930s. Thanks again for the references.
