In his book "How Markets Fail" (p. 60), John Cassidy quotes Milton & Rose Friedman as saying the following: After Oscar Lange returned to his native Poland in 1947, "By all reports, he ended up a tragic figure, a willing puppet of the communist regime, never able to achieve in practice what he had preached in theory.... His personal life, also, was devastated. He abandoned his wife, who returned to the U.S. a sad and lonely figure. When he traveled abroad, it was with another woman, widely suspected of playing a dual role as companion and communist watchdog."
does anyone know anything about this? is there any truth to this story? -- Jim Devine / "In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite." -- Paul Dirac _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
