Currie's role was to explain Keynes to FDR's whiz kids, including Galbraith. Currie later lost his US citizenship and went off to do development work in Columbia. I wasn't interested in Keynes but casually sleuthing whether Currie may have been the never-found Washington mole mentioned in the Penkovsky Papers. Galbraith told me Currie, also formerly on the Harvard faculty,was not a Communist.


Your 'facts' and role models King, and the anecdotes you choose to frame them look like intolerant left wing ideological extremism. Is there room for a person or thought that sits in the center or on the right side of the aisle. Civility seems like a petty charade.
