I want to add; I admire Walter Reuther greatly. Conservatives should not vilify past leaders, they should learn from them.

Walter Reuther, killed in a LearJet crash 50 years ago. With the UAW leader died also the dreams of social democracy nursed by Detroit and the auto industry.https://www.freep.com/in-depth/money/cars/2020/05/08/uaw-walter-reuther-workers-rights/3084539001/?build=native-web_i_p …

Well, with all due respect, Amity, not entirely. He put up the money to start the SDS. That doesn't explain radicalism in our time or the 1960s. But, like travelers with coronavirus, it helped seed future outbreaks.

Just finished “The Great Society: A New History.” What a fantastic book. Having lived through the LBJ era, as a kid, and having it shape my viewpoints as a conservative, I thought I knew about that era. Boy, was I wrong! Your book was revelatory. Especially about Reuther.

Do yourself a favor and order this, right now. We likely have enough time on “Safer at Home” for you to finish it if you apply yourselves like I did. You’ll be a lot smarter when you’re done reading it. You can thank me later.https://www.amazon.com/Great-Society-History-1960s-America/dp/0061706426/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=great+society+amity+shlaes&qid=1588995601&sr=8-1#customerReviews …

He seems like a complicated guy. But after I read your book, I have to admit I learned to respect him, too. He was a true believer, and utterly dedicated to the labor movement in all its complex glory.
