Studs Terkel Quotes

In Retrospect, They Make The Finest Comic Reading. The Leading Industrialists And Bankers Testified. They Hadn't The Foggiest Notion What Had Gone Bad. You Read A Transcript Of That Record Today With Amazement: That They Could Be So Unaware. This Was Their Business, Yet They Didn't Understand The Operation Of The Economy. The Only Good Witnesses Were The College Professors, Who Enjoyed A Bad Reputation In Those Years. No Professor Was Supposed To Know Anything Practical About The Economy.
