a 7-page typescript titled "Speaking Out: The American Businessman : Fact or Fiction"

Descripción

28x21cm This is a 7-single-side-page double-spaced typescript comprised of both typed originals and carbons, approx. 1500 words. Ca. late 1960s? Unpublished? With some handwritten notes and corrections. Acquired from the personal papers of the anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist [and Ezra Pound disciple] Eustace Mullins. Not signed but undoubtedly written by Mullins.[".,.In the 1960s, we find that Sinclair Lewis' baffled and rather pathetic caricature of the Babbitt of the 1920s needs little updating. His grandson exhibits the same ambiguous arttitudes, he is victimized by the same people and the same ideas, and he is still uneasily aware of the shallowness of his life and his goals. The principle difference lies in the disenchantment of his offspring, who protest that they have no intention of becoming trapped in the same blind alleys. Yet they too will have to make their decision within a few years. to enter the business world and become the same boobs, scavengers and parasites as their fathers, or to endure a humiliating and pointless poverty. Most of them will opt for buying milk for the baby and the rest will join the hordes of the beatniks, for these too are but the other side of the coin, the other self of the American businessman"].
