"Many years ago, thoughtful, well-intentioned, educated people in the United States all understood that socialism was the future. The average citizen might have retained a quaint belief in the American system of free enterprise, limited government, and individual rights, but among the cognoscenti — academics, artists, newspaper and radio pundits — it was widely recognized that the capitalist experiment had run its course. The overwhelming consensus was that the coming century would see economies managed by benevolent experts: the chaotic, dog-eat-dog competition of the market would give way to rational central planning."
The Nassau Institute was fortunate to have the late John Blundell here back in 2013 to discuss his book, Ladies for Liberty: Women Who Made A Difference In American History.
He provided brief vignettes into the lives of twenty amazing women: Mercy Otis Warren, Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, The Grimke Sisters, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriett Tubman, Harriett Beecher Stowe, Bina West Miller, Madam C.J. Walker, Laura Ingalls Wilder & Rose Wilder Lane, Isabel Mary Paterson, Lila Acheson Wallace, Vivien Kellems, Taylor Caldwell, Clare Booth Luce, Ayn Rand, Rose Director Friedman, Jane Jacobs, and Dorian Fisher.
His lecture is quite fitting.
