The book that was never supposed to be published, all library copies tracked down, retracted, the author forced to issue a heavily censored edition, that's all we have now, you can't see the original
Tragedy & Hope, by Bill Clinton's favorite Georgetown Prof., engineer turned historian Carrol Quigly
He talked about the fact that, early in the 20th century, (during the transition from Financial Capitalism, bankers screaming at kings & dictators, to Monopoly Capitalism, Henry Ford cutting out bankers by giving his workers raises they could use to buy Model T`s)
Early in the 20th century, expert managers became so powerful, that private organizations began taking on the powers of government.
The US, once on the cutting edge of western civilization, now overdue for invasion, war and revolution, "accelerated technological change"
The US doesn't have an official population-control agency, the CIA's USAID notwithstanding.
The American Birth Control League had to be unofficially in charge of keeping down numbers of the poor & dark-skinned. Teddy Roosevelt complained that college educated WASP women were having 1 child for every 6 co-eds. "Race Suicide" he called it.
Unfortunately, the ABCL's successor, (once eugenics got bad press from the death camp movies), PPFA, wasn't any more up to the job, than the present Administration was up to the job of health insurance consolidation.
PPFA's incompetence at sticking to its core mission--you can tell what that is by the ethno-geographic location of most of its outlets within walking distance of brown & black neighborhoods
A dumpster dive of medical records in the back of PP South Texas San Antonio in the mid-late 80s showed
So, America, keep on clogging those sewers with future cancer curers, the future scientists, artists, writers, composers. If the next 500 years lacks a Shakespeare, Dante, Bach, Pasteur, Gauss, or Leonardo, you'll know where they went.
CQ ping.
"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." - Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, December 10, 1939 (Smith College, Sanger Collection) |
I have a printed copy and a pretty good pdf file. It gets interesting after page 950.
You can download the 1st Edition from archive.org:

Are you sure that’s a 1st Edition?
It’s got a reference to “Second Edition, 1974” on the page after the title page.
Ping.
Quigley, read with care and the background to understand what he’s talking about, is a real eye-opener. You won’t look at history the same way, I guarantee you.
His “The Evolution of Civilizations” is worth the price for the preface alone.
