Letter to Leonard E. Read, Foundation for Economic Education, Irvington-on-Hudson, New York

April 10, 1957

 

 

 

Dear Leonard Read:

 

I take it your attention has been drawn to the article, “SKYHOOKS,” by Dr. O.A. Ohmann, as reprinted from the May-June, 1955, issue of the Harvard Business Review and recently receiving attention from our Spiritual Mobilization and perhaps other libertarian friends.

 This Ohmann article, while impressing me at first favorably, later gave are considerable pause — so much so that I studied it carefully and at last set down my reactions in the form of a letter to the editor of the Harvard Business Review, copy of which I enclose.

 I am sending this also to a number of our Spirit­ual Mobilization associates with a covering letter in this wise:

 In the mobilization of spiritual ideals, I feel we should be circumspect — as wise as serpents, though harmless as doves.

 

I therefore enclose for your considera­tion one man’s spiritual (I hope) reaction to Dr. Ohmann’s article, “SKYHOOKS,” as reprinted from the May-June, 1955, issue of the Harvard Business Review.

 

I shall be very happy to receive any comment that may occur to you.

 I am sending my reactions to Dr. Ohmann’s article to you in much the same spirit and intent.

Cordially yours,
