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?

be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But
in poetry, it's the exact opposite." -- Paul Dirac
