the end of the beginning

24.93.136.70

hi,
time to end this. Couple of odd notes- when i asked if a Commie was free to make a movie, you spoke of espionage. Which did not answer the question. As you know, McCarthy had nothing to do with US counterespionage efforts. If he had any effect, he prob muddied the water. So that response fails to:
a) answer
or b) counter my implied argument
i remember the 50's, as do you, this to me is not an academic argument, and i am pretty sure you are willing to limit the freedoms of people you don't agree with. The question: is a Commie free?
was, and is, easy to answer either way.
this i had to respond to- i have never liked Clinton. These days if he comes on, i change the channel.
lastly, i am not a technical kind of guy, it took me quite a few years, and books, to come up with a basic understanding of economics.
Here are a couple of my favorites: "Cities and the Wealth of Nations" by Jane Jacobs - this is so good, i can hardly believe it. It is easy for your library to borrow a copy from other libraries ( if you have a small one ).
It is easy because it is quite popular, the U of Maine, for example, has 5 copies, one for each campus. "The Wheels of Commerce" by Fernand Braudel covers the rise of markets, and basic economies, in the 1500-1800's.
"The Rise and Fall of the Great Empires" by Paul Kennedy There are several others, but those are the books i truly learned from.
feel free to take the last shot, let me know if you read the Jacobs book ( discussing that book with someone who has just discovered it is a rare pleasure ). Best wishes
