Recovery program could have blocked Hitler's `legal coup'

Michael Liebig's speech to the Schiller Institute Presidents' Day conference "The Road to Recovery: Defeat the New Confederacy and Al Gore."

Kurt von Schleicher came within inches of defeating the plot, by implementing a jobs-creation program from the pages of American System economist Friedrich List. That very program for economic recovery spurred a panicked cabal of financial oligarchs in London, New York, and Berlin to oust von Schleicher, and install Hitler.
