Produktbeschreibung

Harold Luhnow (September 25, 1895 - August 1978) was largely responsible for the libertarian direction taken by the influential William Volker Fund during the period between 1944 and 1964 in the United States. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, and died in San Mateo County, California. Luhnow moved to Kansas City, Missouri in 1928, and worked for his uncle, William Volker, as president of Volker's Kansas City-based wholesale firm. He became an active opponent of Kansas City's Pendergast political machine, and was exposed to libertarian thought through fellow reformer Loren Miller. After reading F.A. Hayek's and influential book The Road to Serfdom, Luhnow became a thoroughgoing classical liberal. In 1932, William Volker established the William Volker Fund to subsidize libertarian causes, and in 1944 Luhnow succeeded him as the Fund's president
