I want to thank all those who commented on my article on Pound, Race, and Empire. I will write some detailed replies in a day or two, when I have more time. The question about Proudhon greatly interests me. I do not think Pound mentions Proudhon in any of the Cantos or in any of economic or social writings, but I may be wrong. Perhaps Mr. Surette would know. Pound would obviously have been hostile to such thinkers as Proudhon, Kropotkin, Bakunin, and other anarcho-syndicalists, nor did he appear to have any sympathy with the inheritors of their legacy in Republican Spain. He prefered Franco. There are many political and economic reasons for Pound's dismissal of "el pensamiento libertario," which we could go into later. I think that is a very fruitful area for discussion. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
