Description

These two old friends and antagonists have a go at their central point of

disagreement, economics: what leads people to save and to work, how government affects--positively or negatively--the nation's prosperity, what is the morality of progressive taxation. One sample: JKG: "Going back to deficits, how do you respond to an Administration which is committing itself to continuing and increasing deficit financing under conditions of high inflation. Are you in favor of that?" WFB: "I am in favor of a lowered trajectory--" JKG: "I think that's a yes or no question." WFB: "A yes or no question is something that you will get from someone less bright than me."
