I was as surprised to learn that what I've been doing with LBO for the last
13 years is lobbying the U.S. government and business interests for reforms
in the Henry George/Robert LaFolette tradition as I was last year when I
learned from the same source that Wall Street is a Keynesian tract. How
lucky I am to have a reader who understands me far better than I understand
myself.
