About this title

Review:

Walter Lippmann set an unmatched standard for a journalist interpreting (and leavening) expert opinion to newspaper readers in the middle third of the twentieth century. He introduced Keynesian economics to the generation of the New Deal but never lost interest in markets. He precipitated the founding of the Mont Pelerin Society after World War II but declined to join. And he remained on top of the story well into the Sixties, when the New Economics actually became public policy. It was a golden age. Craufurd Goodwin, who in the forty years that followed became dean of historians of American economic thought, has reanimated Lippmann and his approach with an eye to its many lessons for the present day. --David Warsh, economicprincipals.com
