...deindustrialization" and prescribing solutions to it about as fast as companies have been laying off workers. With The Deindustrialization of America, Boston College's Barry Bluestone and MIT's Bennett Karrison add to this growing literature, which includes everything from Lester Thurow's baleful Zero-Sum Society to the corporatist musings of Felix Rohatyn in the New York Review of Books to Ezra Vogel's jealous Japan as Number...

...harboring "Communists," which term he defined broadly. He made himself ridiculous by cutting his own salary, then restoring the cut; by decreeing French to be Quebec's official language, then rescinding the decree. Because he used Hitler's theories of racism, Mussolini's system of corporatist trade-union laws, and Huey Long's finger-wagging, roughshod political tactics, he was called a Fascist...
