Perhaps its my lack of perspective having lived only the in the US, but I'm trying to get my head around how an economic system without usury/lending would function. Perhaps someone can provide an example?

And, yes, perhaps its not fair to equate lending with usury as the common definition of the latter is essentially that its lending with unreasonably high interest rates. But that definition is squishy. What is "unreasonable"? Surely some interest is warranted as the lender is taking risk?

Looking forward to the comments on this one. :D

Look at Nazi Germany at their height and where they were at the low. I believe Nazis brought themselves up from being hit the hardest during the great depression. I understand they accomplished incredible feats and unfortunately we weren't able to watch Germany and Europe flourish to their fullest potential because the Nazis lost. From what I understand our Capitalism and Cultural Marxism ie Communism are 2 sides to the same jewish coin. Makes me sick especially after we helped red russia beat Germany we treated the German people terribly. Unfortunately I believe the best system is National Socialism but we're already Le 56'd the fuck up. No hate on Russia I know they been through a ton and I respect Russia as well as places such as Poland and Hungary and would love to Visit or even live in them Countries.

Germany's great recovery was simple. They stopped allowing Jews to rob them under the banner of WWI restitution. The rest was simple capitalism.
