Rakesh Bhandari wrote: >The WSJ's willingness to give him so much of the editorial page suggests >that real cancer has not yet been eliminated. The WSJ runs lots of nonsense on its edit page, so Murray is hardly a departure. The scary thing is that his lunacy has a way of becoming conventional wisdom a decade later.

39381 postmodernism and neoclassical economics -- rank: 1000
Michael Yates wrote: >Actually, though, doesn't supply-side economics go back to the arguments >of J.B. Say? Sure, but the Laugher Curve, which claimed that lower tax rates would result in higher collections (and vice versa), is what I had in mind. And its ideological corollary, that the U.S. economy fell ill in the 1970s because rich people were overtaxed. Loyal supply-siders are adamant that the 1980s boom was caused by a rejiggering of incentives, through lower taxes on capital and high ...

THE NEUTERING OF PACIFICA from CounterPunch, January 16-31, 1999 [CounterPunch, PO Box 18675, Washington DC 20036 - 202-986-3665] Those involved with public radio are sadly familiar with the largely silent privatization of the small slice of the FM broadcast spectrum set aside for non-commercial purposes. At small public radio outlets, the process has often been brutally abrupt, with little resistance. In contrast, at Pacifica Radio, the largest and most powerful public radio broadcaster (NPR is ...
