I think you know what pkt is. For anybody who doesn't, it is the Post Keynesian Thought list. Lynn Turgeon is a retired prof from Hofstra who has written many books, the most recent one being _Bastard Keynesianism_. He enjoys being idiosyncratic and provocative, as well as very progressive. He has long pushed the idea that there was a lot more in common between FDR's and Hitler's economic programs than most people would like to admit, although as the comments on this list (and pen-l, where I also forwarded Lynn's message) indicate, there certainly were plenty of differences as well, most of them pretty obvious.
