Dear Editors,
Daniel Bessner has written a thorough and insightful examination of my philosophy and actions over a lifetime (“The Globalist,” nplusonemag.com), but his assessment is compromised by a set of mistaken assumptions about the beliefs and convictions underpinning that philosophy and those actions.
Bessner says I believe “in a necessary connection between capitalism and cosmopolitanism” and that I believe “a free society depends on free (if regulated) markets.” He further asserts that my “class position made [me] unable to advocate the root and branch. . . reforms necessary to bring about the world [I desire].”
