Description:

1144. BARRY GOLDWATER American politician, an Arizona Republican who ran against Johnson in the 1964 Presidential elections. Fantastic content T.L.S. "Barry Goldwater" on US Senate letterhead, 1p. 4to., June 1, 1962, detailing his ideology about the relationship between government and the private business sector. In part: "...I would say that the best action that could come from the White House, in my estimation, would be that Doctor Heller and other economic theorists who surround the President be allowed to return to various universities and that the President rely more upon business experience than he has in the past... capital investment is the very heartbeat of our economic system...Nothing has been done to give those in the investment world confidence that the government would stay out of their hair and let the free enterprise economy work in as free a way as it can...the best thing they could do right now would be to borrow a long riding whip and crack it over the executive team, and ask the President to quit bothering American business with his threats to turn his power against the free action of the market." Much more excellent content regarding other issues such as health care and Social Security. Simply framed in black wood, very good to near fine. $75-100
