__NOTOC__
'''Social credit''' is a variant of [[distributism]], developed by the British economist Clifford Douglas (1879–1952), essentially arguing for giving money to consumers, or subsidies to producers, in order to improve an argued chronic deficiency of purchasing power in the economy.

The ideas were popular in the 1920s and 1930s.

The early social credit movement sometimes criticized [[Jewish influence]], especially in finance, and some members had some associations with less politically correct organizations, causing accusations such as [[anti-Semitism]]. The more recent social credit movement has been more politically correct.

In Canada, the "Alberta Social Credit Party" was founded in 1934, dominating the province’s politics until 1971, but did not implement the more radical ideas. Its policies were pro-business and anti-union, and largely opposed to government intervention in the economy.
