Ferdinand Zimmermann

Ferdinand Friedrich Zimmermann (August 14, 1898 - July 11, 1967) was a German author. He used his pseudonym of "Ferdinand Fried" to publish.

Zimmermann was born in Bad Freienwalde, studied economics and philosophy at Berlin, and worked for the newspapers "Vossische Zeitung" and "Berliner Morgenpost" before joing the magazine "Die Tat" in 1931. During the War, he worked at the German Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague. After the War, he found work at the "Sonntagsblatt" and "Die Welt" newspapers.

In 1931 he published the book "Das Ende des Kapitalismus" (The End of Capitalism), in which he offered that laissez-faire capitalism was dead, and that German autarky was the way to go.
