The God of the Machine by Isabel Paterson<br />

I<br />

sabel Paterson (January 22, 1886 – January 10, 1961) was a<br />

Canadian-American journalist, novelist, political philosopher, and<br />

a leading literary and cultural critic of her day. Historian Jim Powell<br />

has called Paterson one of the three founding mothers of American<br />

libertarianism, along with Rose Wilder Lane and Ayn Rand, who both<br />

acknowledged an intellectual debt to Paterson. Paterson’s best-known<br />

work, The God of the Machine (1943), a treatise on political philosophy,<br />

economics, and history, reached conclusions and espoused beliefs<br />

that many libertarians credit as a foundation of their philosophy. Her<br />

biographer Stephen D. Cox (2004) believes Paterson was the “earliest<br />

progenitor of libertarianism as we know it today.” In a letter of 1943,<br />

Rand wrote that “The God of the Machine is a document that could<br />

literally save the world ... The God of the Machine does for capitalism<br />

what Das Kapital does for the Reds and what the Bible did for Christianity.”<br />

Paterson further influenced the post-WWII rise of lettered American<br />

conservatism through her correspondence with the young Russell<br />

Kirk in the 1940s, and with the young William F. Buckley in the 1950s.<br />

Buckley and Kirk went on to found the National Review, to which<br />

Paterson contributed for a brief time. However, she sometimes sharply<br />

differed from Buckley, for example by disagreeing with the magazine’s<br />

review of Rand’s novel, Atlas Shrugged.<br />

In her retirement, Paterson declined to enroll in Social Security and<br />

kept her Social Security card in an envelope with words “’Social Security’<br />

Swindle” written on it.<br />

Paterson died on January 10, 1961, and was interred in the Welles<br />

family plot at Saint Mary’s Episcopal Churchyard in Burlington, New<br />

Jersey.<br />
