This wasn't the only fruit that blossomed from the Progressive Party tree.

Following the failure of the independent 1948 Presidential campaign of
Henry A. Wallace, two former supporters of the Wallace effort met at the
farm in New Hampshire where one of them was living. The two men were
literary scholar and Christian socialist F.O. "Matty" Matthiessen and
Marxist economist Paul Sweezy, who were former colleagues at Harvard
University. Matthiessen came into an inheritance after his father died
in an automobile accident in California and had no pressing need for the
money. Matthiessen made the offer to Sweezy to underwrite "that magazine
[Sweezy] and Leo Huberman were always talking about," committing the sum
of $5,000 per year for three years. Matthiessen's funds made the launch
of Monthly Review possible, although the amount of the seed money was
reduced to $4,000 per year in the second and third years by the
executors of Matthiessen's estate following his suicide in 1950.
