Re: political sociology

I drew again on Benjamin Berber's *Jihad vs McWorld* (although 1995) as

A very revealing but little known book - i have it at the office, so i
cant cite it here, maybe in a day or so, but Mark Ritchi knows -,
is the look back after 50 years on the Bretton Woods Conference by the
then participans who still survive, from all counties, and they tellit
like it really was, now without the ideological baggage/envelopes -
pushing national agendas. 

Bernard Nossiter [retired Wash Post econ correspondent]
Fat Years and Lean - Econ pol from Roosevelt to Reagan - shows how  tehy
did waht they had to, not what thyeir programs/ideologies weree, and alos
shows that one of them/ their adminstriations kenw what they were doing.
a bit of a contradiction, but then so were was  their praxis.
