This week, two important associates of the late Leonard Read, founder of the Foundation for Economic Education, have died.
Dr. Paul Poirot was the editor (and really writer) of The Freeman for 30 years. The Rev. Edmund A. Opitz was author of Religion and Capitalism: Allies Not Enemies. Both men, with their deep learning, commitment to the free market, and elegant manners, exemplified the old republic.
May they rest in peace.

Oh dear, now even Dr. Poirot has been lost to us, right after Dr. Opitz. They, along with Leonard Read, were the standard-bearers of the “freedom philosophy” at FEE for nearly two generations, quietly, diligently working to promote liberty throughout the country and the rest of the world.
To say that they will be missed is an understatement. They were irreplaceable!
Just a thought.

Sad. Still, I’m confused about something: is Lew trying to say that there is no one left in the world who is qualified to pick up the standard?
