[lbo-talk] JK Galbraith

[Michael Dawson]

It was 52 years ago, after Adlai E. Stevenson lost to Dwight D. Eisenhower
despite witty speeches written by Mr. Galbraith, that this economist summed
up the problem in words that sound as if they could have been written last
year. "American liberals have made scarcely a new proposal for reform in 20
years," he wrote. "It is not evident that they have had any important new
ideas."
