...trouble with the world today is that it is theory-ridden," declared Ernest Barker, professor of Political Science at Cambridge University and present lecturer of the Lowell Institute, when interviewed recently. "Italy and Russia, for example, are having industrial systems imposed upon them, a situation which I do not favor.
