“The Anglo-Saxon has established himself in climates totally diverse - Canada, South Africa, and India - and, through several generations, has preserved his essential race characteristics. He is not, of course, superior to climatic influences; but even in warm climates, he is likely to retain his aggressive vigor long enough to supplant races already enfeebled.” LongEnoughCoursesRaceGenerationsInfluenceEssentialsIndiaSouthClimateWarmSuperiorsCharacteristicsCanadaAggressiveDiverseSouth AfricaVigorAnglo Saxon Author:Josiah Strong

“There is no figure who had more of an influence, no person had more of an influence on the intellectuals behind the Iron Curtain than Friedrich Hayek.
