Timothy Burke: REVIEW of “Slouching Towards Utopia"

Wonderful to see

This from the wise and learned Timothy Burke:

The Read: Brad DeLong, Slouching Towards Utopia: An Economic History of the Twentieth Century

is what I hoped for in my most pleasant dreams: a very serious engagement with Slouching Towards Utopia <bit.ly/3pP3Krk> by a very smart and thoughtful person who thinks differently than I do. Indeed, now I can sing the nunc dimittis—what you do when everything you had ever hoped to see is in front of your eyes. To be called “very engaging” and “a compulsively readable economic history from an eclectic economist’s point of view”—what more could I ask? And that so many people are saying that that is what the book is—that tells me that I have many more friends than I imagined, and that the world is a more benevolent place toward me than I had hoped.
