EVAN JONES, AN AUSTRALIAN political economist, wrote obituary-reviews
of John Kenneth Galbraith and Milton Friedman late last year - they
are wonderfully written incisive critiques of the economics
profession, economic theory and how the press and powers-that-be
treated each economist in his lifetime, and they are brilliant
histories of thought as well.
