It’s Not Just Me
James K. Galbraith of the University of Texas, the son of John Kenneth Galbraith, has announced a new group, Economists For Edwards.
From NY Times:
“This campaign has been uniquely serious about carefully framing policy alternatives,” Mr. Galbraith said in an interview. He said that Barack Obama’s emphasis on consensus-building has “a certain level of vagueness” to it, while Hillary Clinton was largely pursuing a continuation of her husband’s economic policies.
With inequality now greater than it has been since the 1920’s, Mr. Edwards had a stronger commitment to making sure wages rose and poverty fell, Mr. Galbraith said.
