	Harold Laski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harold Joseph Laski (June 30, 1893, Manchester, England - March 24, 1950, London, England) was an English political scientist, economist, author, and lecturer, and served as the 1945-1946 chairman of the Labour Party.
		After attending Manchester Grammar School and New College, Oxford University, Laski became (1922-1936) a member of the executive committee of the socialist Fabian Society, and in 1936 he joined the Executive Committee of the Labour Party.
		Ayn Rand once saw a speech of Laski's with a friend, and afterwards decided to use his image in forming the character of Ellsworth Toohey, the major antagonist of her novel The Fountainhead.

		Raised in Manchester, Harold Laski was the second son of a prominent family active in the Jewish temple and in the affairs of the Liberal Party.
		Harold Laski’s legacy was the legitimation for nearly fifty years of extensions of government power into the fields of industrial relations, health provision, comprehensive schemes to assure welfare, and the regulation and nationalization of all major sectors of the economy.
		As disillusioned by government regulation as Laski was by capitalist exploitation, Hayek became the intellectual tribune of the anti-statist reaction in the latter third of the 20th century.

	The career of Harold Laski by Edward Shils
		Laski might well have been able to stay on at Harvard, but he was invited to become a lecturer at the London School of Economics, thanks to the support of Graham Wallas, at that time a leading figure among Anglo-American liberal intellectuals and a professor of political science at the School.
		Laski was never a hard thinker nor was he a ruminator who pondered at length on ever-deepening problems.
		Laski was left with the humiliation of defeat where he had counted on a brilliant victory.

		Laski was formally a political scientist but also the leading public advocate in the 1930s and 1940s of British socialism of the Fabian sort—favoring the wide nationalization of industry and expansion of state power.
		Laski thought of America as a nation with an “inner conviction” of its “mission to lead the world to righteousness.” Hoover comments that Americans were “faithful to an ideal; and doubtless Christian in inspiration” that Laski hoped might help to bring about “transformative change” in the world.
		Laski was the leading British advocate of socialist economics as it prevailed in England with the Atlee Labor government immediately after World War II and that then spread to India, Latin America, and much of the rest of the less developed world.

	Harold Laski
		Laski was a committed socialist and in 1936 joined with Victor Gollancz and John Strachey, the Labour MP, to form the Left Book Club.

		By the 1940s it was only Laski who was bewildered—at the failure of his diagnoses and the rejection of his prescriptions even by those who had been captivated by him in the previous decade.
		As this volume shows, the real tragedy for Laski was that he allowed his intellect to be captured and held captive by the Marxian dialectic, denying himself the use of his own reason despite that dialectic’s repeated failures.
		Harold Laski and American Liberalism will be of interest to intellectual historians, political scientists, and American studies specialists.

		Despairing of the possibility of reforms within the system he came to view socialism as the only possible and available alternative to rising fascism.
