About Ralph Borsodi (1888-1977)

Ralph Borsodi was born in New York City in December of 1888. The details of his early life are sketchy but it appears that Borsodi became educated through a combination of stints in private school and personal reading. After working in his father's publishing company as a young man, Borsodi advised a number of large New York corporations on economic matters. Concurrently he authored two works which helped to spark a return to homesteading. These were This Ugly Civilization (1929) and Flight From the City (1933).

In the mid-1930s Borsodi led the Dayton Project, an attempt to alleviate the effects of the Depression by fostering small, quasi-self-sufficient communities. After this experiment failed, Borsodi helped to found the School for Living in Suffern, New York in order to investigate and promulgate the homesteading life which he advocated. He next founded the University of Melbourne in Florida to further his interests in community and decentralization. During the 1960s and 1970s Borsodi sought to present his ideas via international fora. He developed contacts in India and, with a number of allies, sought to set up several international corporations to implement his economic and educational ideas. His last major project was an attempt to create a currency the value of which would not change.

Borsodi died in Exeter, NH in 1977. His work was greatly influential in spurring a "rural renaissance" that pressed for decentralization of the economy and the government and a return to a self-sufficient life. Many of his ideas have re-emerged in the modern environmentalist movements.

About the Ralph Borsodi Papers

The Ralph Borsodi Collection consists of correspondence, much of which concerns the imminent visit to the United States of Jayaprakash Narayan in 1966; manuscripts for several of Borsodi's works, both published and unpublished; and a small amount of papers from the School of Living, the University of Melbourne, and the corporations that Borsodi set up to implement his ideas.
