...relentless application of this same principle, other revisionists find American capitalist cupidity behind the decisions to go to war in Korea and Viet Nam-a clear example of twisting the facts to fit the theory. While minimizing the vices of the totalitarian leaders, Cold War revisionists invariably exaggerate the shortcomings of American statesmen. This requires something approaching a conspiracy theory of history. How else explain the fact that U.S. leaders are always doing what they say they are not doing? D. F. Fleming, professor emeritus of Vanderbilt University (The Cold War and Its Origins}, and David Horowitz (Empire...
...less troubling is the belief that economic growth is worth any effort. Until recently, neither capitalist nor Communist seriously questioned the whirling-dervish doctrine that teaches, in René Dubos' words, "Produce more than you can consume so that you can produce more." This leads to ecological mismanagement. For example, says Barry Commoner: "Every day we produce 11,000 calories of food per capita in the U.S. We need only 2,500 calories." At the same time, while most of Latin America is suffering from protein deficiency, the U.S. is taking thousands of tons of protein-rich anchovies from the Humboldt...

In an age of restive black-separatist movements, he is an almost evangelical integrationist with a resonant faith in competitive capitalist economics. Holland calls integration "my philosophy for living, as well as a practical reality." The black man's best hope, Holland believes, lies in education and job training...
...Communist economy, the reforms were radical. As originally proposed by Economist Yevsey Liberman, they amounted to a quarter-turn toward concepts of free enterprise. Factories were to be rated not only on the quantity of goods they produced but also on the capitalist criterion of profit: return on invested capital. Factory managers were to have more freedom to decide what to produce, and to make contracts directly with buyers and suppliers. Managers were to be encouraged to dismiss unneeded workers...
