Picture of Ralph Jones

Good Morning Friends,
During the depression, he(Wright)changed his style and image yet again,leaving "Wright the outcast romantic" for his new role as "Wright the grand, social visionary." In the late twenties he became as respectable as he had been at the turn of the century. He gave countless lectures at major universities,started his Taliesin Fellowship - a visionary social workshop in itself - and in his mid sixties adopted the persona of the quick -witted social sage. He wished to supply an impoverished America (an impoverished self for that matter) with an answer to Marxist revolution. This he called by the metaphor "Broadacre City." Although Wright believed in capitalism, he thought that the land, the means of production as social credit - capital itself - should be distributed, not concentrated into monopolies.

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones
