George Heinrich Blumenthal (29 October 1872 – 27 June 1929) was a German author, publisher, founder of the German Physiocrat movement and associate of Silvio Gesell.[1] In 1909, Blumenthal founded the Physiokratische Vereinigung (German for "Physiocratic Association"), which was the first major Freiwirtschaft organization.[2] It drew most of its members from land reformers, individualist anarchists, and syndicalists in Berlin and Hamburg.[2] The association's journal, Der Physiokrat (The Physiocrat) was closed by censorship in 1916 during World War I.[2]
