I Hope The Guggenheim Plan Will Be

As Children We Recognized That We Belonged To An Unusual, Even Exceptional, Family, But The Effect Was Different On Each Of Us.

Populists Believe In Conspiracies, And One Of The Most Enduring Is That A Secret Group Of International Bankers And Capitalists, And Their Minions, Control The World's Economy. Because Of My Name And Prominence As The Head Of The Chase For Many Years, I Have Earned The Distinction Of The "conspirator In Chief" From These People.

I Met Many Russians Over The Years Who Were Convinced My Brothers And I Were A Cabal, Pulling Strings Behind The Scenes To Shape American Policy. The Soviets Had No Conception Of How A Pluralistic Democracy Works And Believed Elected Officials, Up To And Including The President Of The United States, Were Only Figureheads Acting Out The Roles Dictated To Them By The Real "powers That Be" - In This Case, My Family.

Philanthropy Is Involved With Basic Innovations That Transform Society, Not Simply Maintaining The Status Quo Or Filling Basic Social Needs That Were Formerly The Province Of The Public Sector.

I Hope The Guggenheim Plan Will Be Revived.
