“Mr. LaRouche will certainly find his place in history. He was treated unfairly in his life, for his vision and his work. His courage is especially notable.”
—Ramsey Clark, Former Attorney General of the United States
About Us
The LaRouche Legacy Foundation was established at the end of 2019 at the initiative of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, to preserve and extend the monumental intellectual contributions in innumerable fields of knowledge and endeavor of her late husband, Lyndon H. LaRouche, who passed away on Feb. 12, 2019 at the age of 96.
In 2020, the LaRouche Legacy Foundation began publishing Lyndon LaRouche’s collected works, and will begin preparing a complete digital archive of his life’s work. The mission of the Foundation is to help bequeath to future generations the living legacy of Lyndon LaRouche: “to further the scientific and literary work of the American physical economist, Lyndon LaRouche, Jr., help achieve international familiarity with his work and further his scientific advances… for the purpose of furthering an understanding of and appreciation for physical economy, physical science, historiography, the role of classical culture in nurturing and enhancing human creativity, and other related fields.”
The magnitude of the task of compiling and making available to the public the writings, videos of speeches and classes, national and international lectures, and other output of Lyndon LaRouche – who was extraordinarily prolific, by any standard – is exceeded only by that task’s importance for present and future generations. As Helga Zepp-LaRouche asserted in 2019: “I’m absolutely convinced that if we would publish right now LaRouche’s collected works, which is a gigantic task, because he was one of the most prolific writers of this time, it would have the same effect as the introduction of Plato to the Italian Renaissance.”
The vast majority of Plato’s dialogues were in fact unknown in Europe throughout the Middle Ages, and it was only the efforts of Nicholas of Cusa and other scholars associated with him that succeeded in launching a crash translation effort to make Plato’s works available and known. “The combination of Cusa’s writings and the emergence of the entire works of Plato,” Zepp-LaRouche explained, “laid the foundation for the paradigm shift which separated the Middle Ages from modern times.”
Today we face a similar New Dark Age. “What do you have today? You have, in the West, a complete cultural crisis. You have a collapse of moral values, you have the sciences dominated by utilitarianism and the idea of profit.” We again need a Classical Renaissance to create a New Paradigm for all nations, a future worthy of the dignity of Man.
Had you lived in that time and had the opportunity to do so, would you not have done everything in your power to help bring Plato into Europe to help spark the Golden Renaissance? Where would we be today, had the works of Leibniz, Da Vinci, Shakespeare and Cervantes not been preserved for posterity?
The task today of preserving and promoting the living legacy of Lyndon LaRouche now rests on our shoulders. Please help in that effort, and make a lasting contribution to creating a future worthy of the dignity of Man.
