ABSTRACT

In fact I had really only wanted to say hello, but he immediately took off on a nearly one-hour speech about the Institute. Basically the same old story: that we had wasted a great opportunity. That we had never achieved a true collaboration in which we might have confronted our European experiences with conditions in America, for example to analyze monopoly capitalism, fascist tendencies and so forth. That our first “fatal mistake” was to have published the Zeitschrift for years in German, and that when we finally published it in English, we failed to change the design and format.2
