Do you recall if Mr Bartell addressed Nixon’s price control actions in his book, relevant now because the histrionics around the Kamala campaign promises. Any layman’s research on the efficacy of nixon’s actions yield wildly divergent takes on it’s success, some analysis suggests that it is what laid the groundwork for the 70’s recession, others say it was sound policy to control inflation.
Obviously the history of economics and foreign policy is treated like a statistical grab bag for vested interests to support whatever argument they are making but I’m in need of some demystifying over here.
