there's a big break between fascist theory (which was often populist, anti-financier) and fascist practice (which was pro-financier, as long as it served their purposes). The fascists were (and are) extremely opportunistic.
Carrol:
Charles, I keep wondering why you are even bothering to explore a mode of economics that has no future except as the ideology of a future fascist movement.

Carrol, did historical fascist regimes have an ideology against interest taking by banks or financial institutions ? If so , was it another Big Lie ? What was the practice of the Nazis toward banks, and interest taking by them ? Why did they respect Switzerland's neutrality ? Was it because of the power of the European banking sector within the finance capitalists who were of the ruling class in Germany ? What was the role of the U.S. House of Morgan in Germany in the 1920's and 1930's. Were they for ending interest taking by banks and creditors ?
