Favorites

  • Favorite Books A few that come to mind are Walking with the Wind, John Lewis (perhaps my top living "famous person" hero); Hitler's Thirty Days to Power, Henry Ashby Turner; Cincinnatus, Garry Wills (on George Washington and the ethical exercise of power); Everything for Sale, Robert Kuttner (on the uses and limitations of markets, best single book on economic policy I have read); Animal Farm and other works by George Orwell; A Hope in the Unseen, Ron Suskind; The Irony of American History, Reinhold Niebuhr; Robert Kennedy In His Own Words: Unpublished Recollections of the Kennedy Years, eds.
