Hi Jim.
The facts as I understand them, and these are verified by William
Beveridge in his Autobiography, that the foundation of the School by the
Webbs, Sydney and his wife Beatrice, was declared to be the school for
training the new Socialists in economics.
The enterprise did get off the ground, but went bust in 1919. Not
surprising really, they were in good company :-(
Rockefeller, the money man, and Cassel, the armaments devil, stepped in
and picked up the pieces. The rest, as they say, is history.
Ken.
