He funded and helped organize the first Pugwash Conferences on World Peace, in 1955. He wrote numerous articles and essays on political and economic subjects—"Investment Banking", "Competition or Decadence", "Rationalism Versus Rockefeller", and "A Capitalist Looks at Labor" being some of the best known.
