The sad thing is that I've been on that site many times (and found some good stuff). The Austrians and the Marxists both broke off from the German Historical School at the same time for many of the same reasons, both spoke the same language, etc.

I heard a rumor that Marx's research was funded by the Rothschilds.

Do you know who funded the Austrian school of economics? I've been wondering if that's also the Rothschilds.

Big Finance and Socialism

Although the Fabian Socialists, like the Marxist-Leninist Socialists, have always attempted to present themselves as the bitter opponents of the "wealthy capitalists", the truth is that both groups were helped decisively in their activities at critical periods in their history by powerful financial groups.
The widely-held idea that men of great wealth and financial power can automatically be listed against the forces of revolution, is a most dangerous fallacy and contrary to well-established history.
Without exploring here the reasons for the relationship between Big Finance and Socialism, it is necessary to stress the fact that the mentality of the financier, particularly the international financier, is quite different from that of those who actually operate the competitive, free-enterprise economic system.

While many students of revolution and subversion are familiar with the tremendous financial assistance to revolution in Russia by the international financier, Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb and Co., New York, and his associates, insufficient attention has been directed to the relationship between the same type of financiers and Fabian Socialism.

In her autobiography, Our Partnership, Mrs. Webb reveals how she and her husband were helped to finance the London School of Economics by the Rothschilds, Sir Julius Wernher, and similar financiers.
Sir Ernest Cassel, the influential German-Jewish financier, and associated with Kuhn, Loeb and Co., was the biggest financial contributor to the London School of Economics.
In 1920 he saved this Fabian enterprise from serious financial difficulties with a donation of £472,000.

In The Quarterly Review for January, 1929, Professor J. H. Morgan, K.C., wrote:
"When I once asked Lord Haldane why he persuaded his friend, Sir Ernest Cassel, to settle by his will large sums on . . . the London School of Economics, he replied, 'Cur object is to make this institution a place to raise and train the bureaucracy of the future Socialist State'."

It would take a large work to outline the tremendous world-wide influence of the London School of Economics during the time it was dominated by such outstanding Socialists as Professor Harold Laski. Apart from the fact that its teachings have penetrated Universities in all parts of the world, it is interesting to note the number of key Government advisers of the English-speaking countries who were trained at the London School of Economics.

The influence of one man, Harold Laski, can never be fully estimated. For example, any realistic assessment of the role of Dr. H. V. Evatt in Australian politics would need to consider his friendship with Laski.
In the preface to his book, The King and His Dominion Governors, DR. Evatt wrote,
"I am also under obligation to Professor Laski, of the London School of Economics,
for much encouragement and advice."
Laski was also a close friend of Mr. Justice Frankfurter, as was Evatt.
Laski exerted an enormous influence in the U.S.A. In an address on March 15, 1934, Mr. Louis T. McFadden, outstanding American Congressman and banker, exposed New Deal legislation as having been assisted by the Foreign Policy Association of the U.S.A. , which "is directly connected with the Fabian Society".
The Foreign Policy Association was sponsored by Paul M. Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb and Co., and by the famous financier Bernard Baruch. Mr. Justice Felix Frankfurter was also a supporter of the Foreign Policy Association.

President Roosevelt's considerable wealth did not prevent him from enthusiastically accepting the advice and support of the Fabian Socialists. In an address in the U.S.A. House of Representatives on June 30, 1939, the Hon. John C. Schafer dealt with Roosevelt's background, revealing him as a wealthy man who had been "an ex-international banker of wide experience and former attorney for international bankers".
President John Kennedy, Roosevelt's spiritual successor, did not find his wealth a barrier to the acceptance of the advice he received from Fabian Socialist advisers. But Kennedy was not only a product of Harvard University, a hot-bed of Fabian Socialism, but actually studied for a period under Harold Laski at the London School of Economics.
Fabian Socialist J. M. Keynes always enjoyed the friendliest of relations with international bankers. Sir Roy Harrod reveals in his biography how when he visited the U.S.A., "His old friend, Mr. Russell Leffingwell, provided him with a room to himself in the offices of J. P. Morgan."

Several of the American Foundations have become little more than "fronts" for Socialist and, in some cases, Communist activities, providing further confirmation of the nexus between Big Finance and Socialism.

Alger Hiss, the American State Department official who was later exposed as a top Soviet agent, was at one time after the war President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. When Alger Hiss was exposed as a Soviet agent, he was befriended by Mrs. Helen Lehman Buttenweiser. The same woman later supplied most of the bail for Dr. Robert Soblen, brother of Morton Soblen, one of the most important Soviet spies ever captured in the U.S.A.
Dr. Soblen was also charged with espionage activities, but he jumped his bail.
Mrs. Buttenweiser is the wife of Benjamin Buttenweiser, another member of Kuhn, Loeb and Co. She is also the niece of the banker Herbert Lehman, a former Senator and Governor notorious for his support of revolutionary movements."
