It appears that the economic pundits (at least one) and the Clinton Administration have attempted to counter the complaints of workers, etc. that inequality is increasing, that job insecurity is increasing, etc. etc. --- we have Robert Samuelson's new book (prominently featured in NEWSWEEK) and the CEA report on job creation. Has anyone out there had the (dubious) pleasure of reading Samuelson's pompous work (pompous because in the Newsweek piece he basically complained that the people worried about job insecurity and falling standards of living had a PSYCHOLOGICAL problem since the economics he uncovered showed that things are fine --- economic advancement continues apace, etc. etc.)? Any detailed comments?? I just ordered the CEA report. If no one comments on it before I've digested it, I'll file my own description/report on it to the net. Good news bad news: The good news: I have more time to finish my book this June; the bad news: I do not have a summer course to teach since it didn't get enough enrollment!
