Curried Keynesianism in action
The review with an intro can be read
here (or
here). Currie is often considered the first Keynesian in the Roosevelt administration (I suggested
here that, while not a professional economist, that merit goes to Eccles), and was also the first to work in the White House, before the Employment Act and the creation of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA). He was also later unjustly attacked as a Soviet spy, and Roger Sandilands has dealt with this
here (subscription required). His
biography of Currie is a must read.
