Editing Silvio Gesell (section)

==Reception==
===Early free-economy organizations===
In 1909, Georg Blumenthal established with the [[Physiocracy|Association for Physiocratic Politics]] ({{langx|de|Verein für Physiokratische Politik}}) the first platform for the expansion of Silvio Gesell's teachings. In the following future, a publishing house and a magazine were established in 1913. Inside the movement, one placed in Gang by Bumenthal, contradictory opinions immediately appeared, that led to founding of new organisations. In this respect, there is the Free-Land - Free-Money - Contract ({{langx|de|Freiland-Freigeld-Bund}}), founded by {{ill|Paulus Klüpfel|de}}, and Contract for Free-economy ({{langx|de|Bund für Freiwirtschaft}}), founded by Helmut Haacke.

According to Günter Bartsch, in the early stages of free-economic organizations, there were "Two Political Techings" battling one another, the [[Anarcho-liberalism]] and [[State Socialism (Germany)|State-socialism]]. Swiss life reformer {{ill|Werner Zimmermann (activist)|lt=Werner Zimmermann|de|Werner Zimmermann}} found, more successful or not, a synthesis, which he called [[Free socialism]].

===From the Soviet Republic in 1919 until Gesell's death===
====Erich Müchsam and Gustav Landauer====
Among other things, the fact that Gesell got appointed as the finance minister of the Munich Soviet Republic was based on a joint proposal by [[Gustav Landauer]] and [[Erich Mühsam|Erich Müchsam]].
In his Personal Account Report on the Revolutionary Events in Munich ({{langx|de|Persönliches Rechenschaftsbericht über die Revolutionsereignise in München}}), the latter wrote that Silvio Gesell had the most "comprehensive knowledge in the field of money", and his "recognizable anarchist attitude" were known to them.

In addition, "the practice of his free-money theory accompanied with nationalization of banks" appeared to them as a particularly effective means of "making exploitation and usury impossible fast".
Shortly after Gesell's death, Müchsam stated in his funeral oration: "The time of revolutionary realization will have much to give to the dead. The road of mankind toward proper unity will be stamped with the kind of ground as from Silvio Gesell's garden."
Landauer was impressed very early on by Gesell's free-money theory.
He saw in him a disciple of [[Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]].
In his ''Call to Socialism'' ({{langx|de|Aufruf für Sozialismus}}) published in 1911, he wrote: "In a free-transactional economy, money must become equal to all other commodities from which it differs in essence today, and yet become a general means of exchange. Very valuable are the proposals that Silvio Gesell has made. [...] He is one of the very few, who have learned from Proudhon, recognized his greatness and, following him, have come to continue thinking independently."

====Silvio Gesell and Gottfried Feder====
The historian {{ill|Udo Kissenkoetter|de}} made references in 1920s to activities of the [[antisemitic]] [[German Socialist Party]] (DSP), in which [[Gottfried Feder]] was included as much as Silvio Gesell was, as the main speakers and competitors.
Supporters of Gesell and Feder inside the DSP ranked with many [[seats of local government]] for a economic program, as was in the second congress in August 1920 in [[Leipzig]].
In this course, in the "early-[[fascist]]ic circles", Gesell's plans for governing of the conjuncture, and Feder's model of national money creation were seen as a mental common good.
In August 1921, a multinational [[NSDAP]]-congress in [[Linz]] finally decided that Gottfired Feder's economical views would be adopted against Silvio Gesell's teachings.
