"
"In the 1941 year book of Yeshiva College, 'Masmid', several pages are devoted to
an article by Graduate Hyman J. Lakes on'Henry George and a Balanced Economy'. Mr Lakes
concludes his article with the following paragraph: "As a brilliant and able exponent
of social reform, the position of George is secure. His work is a ringing denunciation
of the prevailing order of inequality and class conflict, and is a challenge that
civilization cannot afford to ignore. To thoughtful men it should be a source of renewed
hope in the ability of mankind to solve social and economic problems without resorting
to the violation or suppression of the rights cherished by the individual."
