- Can anyone in netland offer a thumbnail (or better) synopsis of Reich,
- Clinton's Man From Harvard, and the ideas this fellow is pushing? I
- like Clinton, but looking at Reich makes me very uneasy. (Visual looking--
- on nothing but first impressions, I neither like nor trust the man. This
- isn't a very good way of evaluating people, but at the moment, it's all
- I've got.) Feedback from people who know and understand Reich's work in
- some detail is especially desired. I'll track down and read his books
- sometime, but probably not soon. Is his research sound? Does he use
- reasonable assumptions? (Many economists do not.) Can he justify his
- conclusions by historical validation? (Well, maybe "justify" isn't
- the right word here. You know what I mean.) Etc. etc.
