George Shultz was a leading economic hitman, a prominent promoter of Schachtian economic policies, named for Hjalmar Schacht, who was responsible for Nazi’s slave labor policy. Shultz was at the center of more than fifty years of the “controlled disintegration” of the U.S. economy: advising Nixon to break with the gold-reserve system in 1971; advocating […]
Beethoven, Franz Schubert: musical dialogue and the C-minor series. No investigation of the C-minor dialogue among composers can be complete without the astonishing C-minor sonata by Franz Schubert, whose birthday we recognized on January 31.
