A Radio Talk Over the N.B.C. Network
Delivered February 24, 1945 from Los Angeles
(no city given): (no publisher given), [1945].
Assumed first edition.
A pamphlet containing a spoken English transcript of a radio broadcast from Los Angeles over the NBC radio network, delivered on February 24, 1945 [just at the end of World War II] by American novelist, film director, screenwriter, music composer, and military officer Rupert Hughes (1872-1956). Hughes discusses the short book How We Live by Fred G. Clark and Richard S. Rimanoczy, which is subtitled A Simple Dissection of the Economic Body. He points out that this book gives a good overview on the basic realities of economics; specifically that it's based on three concepts: natural resources, human energy, and tools. This is definitely more realistic than the modern approach to economics, which focuses primarily on capital and debt. Toward the end of the broadcast he says:"Fascism is the complete enemy and opposite of the capitalism and free enterprise that have built our people
from thirteen little poverty-stricken colonies into the mightiest and freest and happiest nation on earth."
