Age of Folly

America Abandons Its Democracy
Dec 09, 2016
Haven't read this book yet, but have serious misgivings about Lapham, whom I onced followed at Harper's but became disillusioned with planted stories there favoring - - or apologizing for - - Wall Street [e.g., such as claiming it was the CPI - - the Consumer Price Index - - which was responsible for the Great Recession, not the bankers and their CDSes and credit derivatives, et cetera]. Interesting to note that Lapham's brother [Tony Lapham] was with the CIA; I believe he was the general legal counsel. [Also lost faith long ago with Mother Jones magazine - - and for the record, I have voted Green Party since 1996.]
