Jordan and the Conference Board under Cold War scrutiny
Soviet accusations label Dr. Jordan as imperialist puppet and the Conference Board as a covert agent for monopoly capitalism. The piece outlines two Jordans, the aggressive economic imperialist and the objective statistician, with NICB studies shaping wage talks and public policy amid wartime politics. The article notes broad funding links including NAM, AFL CIO, unions, and Amtorg, and cites Browder’s 1941 speech as starting the discredit campaign.
