Created page with "My dear Marschak, I need you letters. The subject is important & your views are a great help to me. I say: There was good international co-operation [on] 'Twenties and its a..."

New page

My dear Marschak,

I need you letters. The subject is important & your views are a great help to me.

I say: There was good international co-operation [on] 'Twenties and its abandonment in the 'Thirties was due (<u>not</u> to stupidity but) to the fact that it now appeared to be hopeless. […]

You bring in original sin, in the wrong place, I fear. It belongs to the institutional nature of human society, for which it fully accounts. But one should not confuse it with a pessimistic psychology of man. He is the hero and self-less whenever conditions allow of an institutional set-up which offers a solution. <span class="hand-written">It is not his fault, if they often {do it}.</span> He is - rightly! - selfish and un-cooperative <u>when</u> they don't. Some times, I agree, a shift in the (independent) intellectual factor may offer a solution where there was none before. […]

I believe that man is rational i.e. able to react to objective conditions incl. those set by society, in such a way as to ensure his {annual} (internal and external) survival, but that society tends to set him insoluble problems in the forms of conflicting institutions. <u>This</u> characteristic of society is not due to any lack of rationality in man. Our present complaints about man - lack of foresight, selfishness - are more modern than we admit and merely reflect the institutional {orsis} in a transitional period. Man loves to be rational and to conform - but what if rationality is dangerous and there is nothing to conform to? As soon as there is a rationalisation on the horizon is reasonably <span class="hand-written">or say</span> reasonable, man clicks in. That's why the urgent and important thing, is to produce a simple and clear i.e. rational picture of a regulated market-system in a plastic society i.e. in a society which attain its self-organization by political means.

The Women's Employment Federation of Gr. Br. has sent a report on my wife's work … […]

Thanks for the Guillebaud (whose book I knew); will look it up at once. Have ordered the little Meade and the little Feis, also W. Brown's new <span class="hand-written">book or the International Gold Standard Reinterpretd, 1941.</span>
