From URPE-Announcements list. The url for the article on Galbraith doesn't work, so I'll send you the article separately. In solidarity, Jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: Ann Markusen Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 8:46 AM Subject: [URPE] Please circulate this - thanks! Evan Jones, an Australian political economist, wrote obituary-reviews of John Kenneth Galbraith and Milton Friedman late last year - they are wonderfully written incisive critiques of the economics profession, economic theory and how the press and powers-that-be treated each economist in his lifetime, and they are brilliant histories of thought as well.
