Could you explain how Reder conflates ambiguity with anti-Semitism. He did not document
actual anti-Semitic remarks but neither did he document the positive acts in defence of
jews that he did for Schumpeter and Keynes. I did  not read Reder as claiming that Hayek
was an anti-Semite but that he shared many of the stereotypes of the period.
 
Reder's main problem is that he uses the values of today to judge people in a different
period. Against the background of the times, none of his subjects appear to be unusually
anti-Semitic.
