Written in his own hand, and finished only weeks before his death, Reminiscences by General Douglas MacArthur spans more than half a century of modern history. These pages show a man whose unique vantage point at the center of the stage enabled him to illuminate major controversies of our time, and whose views and ideas - never before published in full - are now bound to bring new and unexpected reappraisals to the conflicts in which he himself was the central figure.

Fortunately, there is little to do in Bertinoro at night, other than to drink grappa in the piazza, and this eased the tension considerably. Later in the workshop Steve proposed to Alan Karr and me that we found a journal and, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, we have and this is it.

IN THE CASE OF WHAT COULD BE DONE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE PRIVATE-ENTERPRISE SYSTEM TO MAKE IT WORK BETTER, IT ARGUES THAT TWO INDISPENSABLE CHANGES WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE. FIRST THERE MUST BE A RELATIVELY LARGE SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY THAT IS PUBLICLY FINANCED AND CONTROLLED. SECOND, THERE IS NEEDED A REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH AND INCOME TOWARD GREATER EQUALITY.
