Heinrich Färber
Heinrich Färber (born September 22, 1864 in Neu Sandez , Galicia , † December 15, 1941 in Łódź ) was an Austrian economist and founder of ergocracy , an alternative economic theory .
The trained goldsmith came to Vienna in 1897 and opened a goldsmith's trade, which he operated until 1914. From 1917 he created a new teaching, the Ergocratic Economics. In 1941 he was deported from Vienna to the Litzmannstadt ghetto ( Łódź ), where he died.
Ergocracy
The Ergokratie (Greek ergon = work, work, power) is the doctrine of equitable distribution. The main evil of the existing economic order is therefore a whole bundle of features, such as inflation, the interest system , the unregulated investment of money, the limitless crediting, the monetarist, unjust and inefficient tax system, the large-scale hoarding of money, the artificially created national deficits and the willfully induced national debt.
His form of criticism of capitalism found favor with supporters of both left and right parties.
In Austria , a party called the Fourth Party (Ergokrats) took part in the 1949 National Council election ; it received 7,134 votes and thus clearly failed to make it into parliament .
