"Ronald Reagan's Economics Represented Some of the Finer Thinking of the Eighteenth Century"

Did nothing trickle down to you in the eighties? Wondering why all those tax cuts aren't boosting the economy like they were supposed to?

Maybe then it's time to catch up with John Kenneth Galbraith. Me, I'm headed to the library tomorrow to check out one or two of his books.

Here's a great interview with Galbraith's biographer from MPR's mid-morning show last week. (Scroll down to May 10th.) I listened to it twice yesterday.

Galbraith on America's entry into South Vietnam.

William Greider on Galbraith.

All of the above is highly recommended.
