This is a question that should be addressed to Reder, not us.  What 
motivated him to write the paper in the first place, particularly given the 
non-existent evidence against Hayek and the highly questionable evidence 
against Schumpeter, remains, to me at least, an utter mystery. 
 
A thinker's status as an anti-Semite, or not, presumably has no necessarily 
implications for the veracity his or her views on economics, which only 
deepens the mystery. 
 
And, for the record, as a "charter" member of the Hayek-L list, I wish to 
echo the comments made by Bruce Caldwell and Barkley Rosser about the 
quality of the conversations on that list, and to disassociate myself (and, 
to the extent possible, the list as an entity) with whatever "threats" some 
individual on that list might or might not have made.
