He was head of the House of Morgan after partner Henry Davidson died in 1922. Thomas W. Lamont was one of Harvard's most influential graduates . Historian John Patrick Diggans in his book, Mussolini and Fascism: The View from America page (page 149) describes America's most important fascist:
Though not the most voluble business spokesman for the Italian government, Lamont was the most valuable. For it was he who translated verbal apologetics into hard cash, securing for Mussolini a $100,000,000 loan in 1926.Many Harvard professors and students claim high moral values lecturing us about the evils of the Koch brothers money. Thomas W. Lamont has a library , at Harvard, named after him. A fascist reminder. When is Harvard going to change the name of their fascist library to something more honorable?
