Item 2872
Typed draft letter to Saul D. Alinsky, Executive Director, The Industrial Area Foundation, 8 Michigan Avenue, Chicago 3, Illinois
July 23, 1959
Dear Mr. Alinsky:
At the kind suggestion of my friend, Dr. F. A. (Baldy) Harper of the William Volker Fund, San Mateo, California, I send you herewith, and with my compliments, a copy of my CITADEL, MARKET and ALTAR.
This book gives new insight into the fundamentals of our Western Society — as it has so far quietly evolved and still continues to evolve. It discloses private free-enterprise as the potential sound alternative and positive antidote to political bureaucracy, and it looks forward to the profitable extension of this system into the whole field of public administration once the nature and advantages of this value-creating method come to be realized and properly understood.
It goes far to demonstrate that evil — the public practice of force and deceit – need not be resisted or destroyed but only, in the pursuit of honest recompense for public services, to be intelligently and peaceably outgrown.
I hope you will find the book of interest and value.
Sincerely yours,
Spencer Heath
Encl.
