Spectacular, bespectacled Waddill Catchings in 1928 co-authored (with William Trufant Foster) a book called The Road to Plenty showing how the U. S. boom could be made to pop higher & higher like a Roman candle.

Mr. Calverton is concerned with a sane revaluation of Thomas Paine, and he shows that among the many ironies of Paine's life, the most bitter...
...pages of half-tones tipped in. Typical of the latter was "The Forgotten Man," an abject figure asleep in a cheap doorway. Contributors to the first issue included such famed economists as John Maynard Keynes ("A New Monetary Policy for England"), Sir Josiah Stamp ("Our Price Level Problem"), William Trufant Foster ("Is Fiat Money Any Worse than Fiat Poverty?"). Among a group who discussed Mr. Foster's article was gloomy Richard Waldo, president of McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
