Paul Krugman: The Twinkie Manifesto

By Sheila Samples

We've forgotten something important -- namely, that economic justice and economic growth aren't incompatible. America in the 1950s made the rich pay their fair share; it gave workers the power to bargain for decent wages and benefits; yet contrary to right-wing propaganda then and now, it prospered. And we can do that again.
