A collection of 7 monetary reform circulars with anti-Semitic undertones published by F. E. Anderson of Topeka, Kansas
Topeka: F. E. Anderson, [ca. late 1930s/early 1940s]. A scarce collection of monetary reform circulars published by Fred Emil Anderson (1875-1959), an unmarried, machinist-turned-printer and the son of Swedish immigrants who resided in Kansas for his entire life. This collection consists of seven of at least 16 circulars authored and published by Anderson, although a few include contributions from kindred spirits, which inveigh against usury, the International Bankers, the Federal Reserve, fractional lending, fiat money, the Rothschilds, debt-based finance, etc., all without explicitly naming the Jews. In the early 1950s, Anderson published two longer works, Life and Liberty (1951) and Debt Free United States (1952), the latter being Anderson’s campaign promise during his unsuccessful run for President in 1952. Included are:
Benjamin Franklin Told the English (Circular No. 3).
Send Us Men (Circular No. 5).
A Conversation with Bill the Producer (Circular No. 10).
Bookkeeping Money / Interest Puts Wealth Into Few Hands (Circular No. 11).
Why Issue Bonds? / Best Constitution Under the Sun (Circular No. 12)
Eye Opening Economics Are Not Taught in Public Schools / Monetary Reform / Why Spend Money? (Circular No. 13).
The Trouble With Our Country Is: (Circular No. 14).
Each circular is printed on both sides of a 9” x 6” sheet of newsprint. Chipping and browning to most titles, none of which are found in Worldcat. Although Anderson’s two longer works (not included here) are included by Singerman in his bibliographic database of Antisemitic Texts in English, none of the circulars are catalogued. Item #12378
