RE E H CARR AND DAVID KAISER'S POST RE ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM AGAIN

Just a few words, as I have discovered that this early 20th Century Historian, of history, politics, and 'International Relations', shared some of my views and conclusions, before 1950, and put them into print.

He also diverged from my views in crucial respects, but at least he was fighting the good fight.

Some of his observations, eg about 19th Century underpinnings, the Benthamism so to speak, and related trends, of people like Wilson, are especially refreshing, in this arid wasteland of the intellect.

Also, some of his thoughts on what one might call the 'wish fulfillment' aspect of 'specialists', and of 'experts', in various fields, (he deals especially with politics and economics), prefigures some of my observations on this subject, and on many other affected fields, specialization in general, really. (See also my remarks on David Kaiser's blog, History Unfolding.)

Others of his, Carr's, views, e.g. his view of Smoot-Hawley, diverge drastically from mine.
