The Common Sense Revolution. The Iconoclast.
McMurtry, John
Canadian Social Studies, v30 n2 p50-52 Win 1996
Presents a scathing review of supply-side economics and its effect on social programs. Argues that the Reagan administration purposefully incurred massive government debt in order to justify reducing social spending. Maintains that Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney followed a similar course. Includes trenchant criticism of Canada's public education bureaucracy. (MJP)
