Readers may be interested to learn that perhaps the best-known statement of the proposition that the economics of John Maynard Keynes is properly understood with reference to his homosexuality is Keynes at Harvard: Economic Deception as a Political Credo (Veritas Foundation, New York, 1960). (Keynes was in fact bisexual over the course of his life.) Authorship was credited to Zygmund Dobbs in the revised edition published by Veritas Foundation in 1962 and in the revised and enlarged edition from Probe Research, West Sayville, N.Y., in 1969. I remember looking at a copy in a John Birch Society bookstore during my first visit to the United States in the summer of 1972 and since then I have come across several copies in book stores and book sales. It was printed in large quantities and it’s not difficult to find.

So who was Zygmund Dobbs? I understand that Dobbs was the pseudonym of Archibald Bulloch Roosevelt (1894-1979), Teddy and Edith Roosevelt’s fourth child and third son, a second cousin of FDR, and sometime member of the John Birch Society. Go here and here to read more about Archibald Roosevelt. He was the only U.S. soldier in history to have been fully disabled from two wars (the First and Second World Wars) and one of the few non-alcoholics to sit on the Board of Alcoholics Anonymous. (His elder brother Kermit (1889-1943) was an alcoholic who committed suicide.)
