The Natural Economic Order through Free Land and Free Money (German: Die natürliche Wirtschaftsordnung durch Freiland und Freigeld, NWO) is a 1916 book by economist, entrepreneur, and social reformer Silvio Gesell. It is a treatise on land reform and monetary reform. It attempted to provide a solid basis for economic liberalism, in contrast to the 1900s socialist and communist trends of collectivism and planned economy. The Natural Economic Order is Silvio Gesell's most famous work, and it is mainly known for describing his monetary theory.
The book was published in Bern, Switzerland and Berlin, Germany in 1916. The book had six editions during Gesell's lifetime. It was translated into English by Philip Pye in 1929.
