Weird review of Kuttner's new book
I haven't read it yet (The Squandering of America), but I've always respected Robert Kuttner as an extremely informed and persuasive voice for "managed capitalism". I came along this kind of off-the-wall review of his book on Truthdig by a guy named Doug Henwood. Any of you heard of him? He kind pooh poohed the book, and I thought made some gratuitous jabs at liberals. He started sounding more and more like traditional socialist, I just couldn't figure it out. He definitely gave some food for thought though....

1. Doug Henwood is worth listening too.
I have been subscribing to his pod-cast for some time now.
p.s it's free!

2. I like Kuttner a lot.
I think it was called The End of Laissez-Faire, and maybe some articles in college. Just wanted to chime in as a fan when I saw a familiar name. Can't help with the question, however.
