How Milton Friedman and Chicago Economics Undermined American Institutions and Endangered the Global Economy

Facebook claims I readers who want me to write more. I have written little in the past two years. Part of the reason is that Reality Ignored summarizes much of what I think I know and want to share. Part is because Trump has depressed me. He demeans traditions of civility and actively promotes evil. In doing so he destroys the values that bind us as a community and a global entity. The list of bad -- ignoring climate change, ending trade treaties, promoting bigotry, aiding the rich rather than the needy -- is almost endless. Another part is that some insights of Reality Ignored seem to be reemerging in my formal field of antitrust and I am not sure how much I can add to that discussion. Still I think Reality Ignored provides a better and broader discussion of the ways in which Chicago Economics has distorted our economic and social community. If readers want more my other publications listed on my website www.kennethdavidson.com provide further opinions that may interest you.
