In response to off-list requests: I can't circulate this material in its current form until I have archival citation permission from the relevant book publisher (permission requested several months ago). 

I understand that if a scholar is denied permission to quote public domain archival material, a summary of letters etc can be used instead (along with a discussion about the attempted suppression).  Does anyone have information about this?

Subject: [SHOE] Economists and the Cold War

There is a dispassionate account of the corruption and manipulation of 'information' during the Cold War in a forthcoming volume in my Archival Insights into the Evolution of Economics series.  The left wing Guardian newspaper plus a number of economists (including Terence Hutchison and Friedrich Hayek) were "taken for a ride" by someone who devoted his 'professional' life to 'faction' or less politely, fraud, and Cold War fraud in particular.
