The Human Economy Party e. V. (own name: HUMANWIRTSCHAFT ) is a small German party . The central theme of the Human Economy Party, which emerged from the Free Social Union , is the transformation of the current capitalist economic order into a market economy "which serves people and not capital". To this end, the Human Economy Party aims to reform the current money and land law. The approach to a solution is based on an economic system called free money and free land doctrine. The free economy represents a third way between capitalism and socialism.
Content profile
The Human Economy Party wants to create an economic order that realizes personal freedom and social justice in equal measure. It assumes that poverty , hunger , violence , terrorism and the elimination of basic democratic rights can essentially be traced back to the existing money and land system.
For this reason, the party aims to change the current economic environment as follows:
- It wants to create an independent monetary office whose only task is to keep the currency stable. The Monetary Office does not do any banking, so the commercial banks have no refinancing options at the central bank. Money no longer comes into circulation as an interest-bearing loan, but rather interest-free through government spending.
- The currency is to be secured against circulation by means of a fee on cash. This would neutralize the liquidity premium and prevent the economy from falling into a liquidity or investment trap. Money should only be used as a medium of exchange. Savings are to be made in financial investments that ensure that the savings immediately go to capital formation and the money tokens back into circulation. As a result, there would be no more involuntary unemployment, because every offer finds its demand. After all, every worker receives his full work income, which is not reduced by interest charges.
- The human economy assumes that the use of land, including mineral resources, is a prerequisite for life. However, the access and use options are not the same for all people today, since a minority has the right to own the land. This enables this minority to demand remuneration from the people without land, the land rent. It arises from the fact that the soil cannot be increased. For this reason, the Roman right of ownership of inalienable natural resources (soil, mineral resources, air, water, sunlight) is to be converted into a general right of use. This means that the land rent can be skimmed off and paid back to the general public. The skimmed-off land pension is to be paid out to the parents as an education salary based on the number of their underage children.
The Human Economy Party can only be classified with difficulty in the traditional spectrum of parties . She describes herself as liberal social. The free economy is an acratic idea.
The party propagates the book The Solution of the Social Question as the current standard work. It is a revised version of the book “Overcoming Totalitarianism” by Otto Valentin from 1952 and appeared again in 2008. According to the party, this book is one of the most succinct introductions to free economics.
Overlap with other parties
The main theme was brought into the Green Party by the Free International University around the artist Joseph Beuys and some free economists.
After this approach had almost completely disappeared from the Greens' party program in 1989/90, it was later represented by the Liberal Socialists (Lisos) at Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen, especially in the “ Hildesheim Circle ”. The citizens' initiative Alternative Third Way - A3W (co-founder is Georg Otto , one of the founders of the party Die Grünen) is the publisher of the magazine "Alternatives".

history
The party was founded in 1950 as the Free Social Union (FSU). It united the Radical Social Freedom Party (RSF) of the British zone of occupation, the Social Freedom Party (SFP) of the American zone of occupation and the Free Social Party (FSP) of the French zone of occupation. From around 1958 it wrote itself Free Social Union and in 1968 the additional designation Democratic Center was decided for the party name .
The party first ran in a state election in Lower Saxony in 1963 and, from 1965, also in the federal election in some states. It was essentially limited to distributing leaflets. The candidates hardly appeared in public.
On April 28, 2001, the FSU changed its name to the Human Economy Party because the members wanted to distance themselves from some right-wing extremist functionaries of the FSU. On October 30, 2005, the abbreviation Human Economy was adopted. By 2006 the party brought out its own magazine "HUMANWIRTSCHAFT - magazine for a human market economy". The magazine was spun off in January 2007 for cost reasons and is now published by the “Friends of the Natural Economic Order” based in Essen.
In the parliamentary elections in Berlin on September 17, 2006, the party received 0.1 to 0.2% of the second vote.
The Human Economy Party failed to collect the 4000 support signatures required to participate in the 2009 European elections.
The Saxon state association participated in the election for the 5th Saxon state parliament in 2009 with a state list and a direct candidate in the Riesa-Großenhain 2 constituency . The party received 0.1% of the vote.
In the view of the Federal Electoral Committee, the requirements for recognition of party status according to Section 2 (1) of the PartG are missing. In September 2016, the party was entered in the register of associations . Since then it has had the addition “e. V. “in the name.
Bundestag elections
In 1965 , 1969 and 1972 the FSU took part in the respective federal elections, but only achieved 0.0% of the vote. In 1987 , 1994 and 1998 the FSU only sought direct mandates, which, however, could not be obtained.
In the 2005 Bundestag elections , the Human Economy Party had a direct candidate in the Bundestag constituency of Freiberg - Middle Erzgebirgskreis (Saxony), who received 0.4% of the vote.
The Federal Electoral Committee for the 2009 Bundestag election did not allow the Human Economy Party to vote because no representatives from the party attended the meeting. She was therefore unable to run for the 2009 Bundestag election.
