Evidence

The South African government was grateful for the rhetorical ammunition. They ordered three translations and sixteen thousand copies of the book in which the article was to appear. The next year they ordered twenty thousand offprints of the article for distribution in the United States. Defenders of apartheid quoted Röpke’s work in their own pamphlets. — Quinn Slobodian, Globalists, 508
