Sons: N.Y., 1934). This study was funded to the tune of $340,000 by the Carnegie Corporation of
New York, quite a sum of money in 1934 dollars! Professor Harold Laski, the philosopher of British
socialism, said of this report: “At bottom, and stripped of its carefully neutral phrases, the Report is an
educational program for a Socialist America.” An important and revealing excerpt from Conclusions

[free enterprise], and is embarking upon vast experiments in social planning and control
which call for large-scale cooperation on the part of the people.... (pp.1–2)
