Today we interview the author of a new book, "Great Society - A New History," by Amity Shaes. The subject we look at is the Great Society and what are considered as the "best and the brightest" of the people below President Lyndon Johnson. We also talk about the 1960's and the relationship of General Electric to big government. Briefly touched upon is "The Great Table," composed of Big Labor (unions), Big Business, and the federal government. The assertion is that this great table ran our economy. We also explore the assertion of some, that there is little to no difference between taxation and the "tithe." Is our economy pure capitalism, or a "mixed economy?" Participants: Amity Shlaes, Dan Elmendorf
