...left-wing political critique of Humphreyism is concisely expressed in Wealth and Power in America by Gabriel Kolko, a radical who challenges all the liberal assumptions. Humphrey extols our "democratic economy," the increasing equalization of incomes, and the dissolution of corporate monopolies. In reply Kolko offers a welter of charts and figures, concluding that the income tax has done little equalizing, that a very few men still control most of the corporate structure, and that things are getting worse, not better.

...project and adjust for all kinds of indices - a 23.4% rise in G.N.P., a 27.6% increase in industrial production, a 62.5% climb in corporate profits, a 34% increase in stock values. But economic advances are as much flesh and blood as they are graphlines and columned totals. In this welter of statistics, how fare the 191.7 million Americans known collectively as the U.S. consumer...
