This quotation illustrates one of White’s correct early grasps of what was happening in the political economy of the time and its future direction with growing industrialization and technological complexity. Most historians agree that White passed classified information to the Russians. He was accused of being a Communist, but there was never any evidence of that. Some people believe that he was a spy for the Russians and committed espionage, but others disagree observing that White was very much his own man and felt that much information that was classified never should have been. White substituted his own judgment, it is believed, about what could be given to the Russians for the security system. He was an admirer of what Russian socialism had accomplished economically, educationally and medically since the 1917 revolution deposing the Czar. Russia had been a valuable military ally, which had taken the brunt of both military and civilian casualties in WWII. White’s economics were certainly not Marxist but very much Keynesian. He was subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee where he was accused of being a Communist which he denied (see {634907}). He died of a heart attack 3 days later.

Metternich called a conference of the heads of all the German states to deal with what they perceived as a dangerous liberalism enveloping German society. Metternich did not personally draft all the resolutions but he controlled the conclave and all the resolutions which are usually ascribed to him.
This statement demonstrated the classic difference that Roosevelt had with the right wing of his party and that of the contemporary Republican party. Namely they thought that the only obligation of the corporation of other business was to the owners / shareholders while Roosevelt saw the obligation to the State and the people. The State and the society gives corporations many privileges that normal businesses do not have—most important is limited liability for the corporation’s negligence or even intentional damage to people. If the Corporation had no obligation to the State and to the people, why should they get this limited liability and other benefits?
Virtually every advance for the working class in England (and the other countries including America) was labeled “socialism” by the conservative economic factions of the time. However, socialists were strong advocates of all these economic reforms and even in the 19th century their impact was recognized.
