Leonard Peikoff Quote

One British writer describes these big bankers and industrialists, who prided themselves on their practicality in backing Hitler, as too innocent for politics. William Shirer says that they were politically childish. In fact, their innocence was anti-intellectuality, and their political childishness was (in effect) philosophical pragmatism.
