1. At every level schooling is slanted to the Left. Of course elementary school, but waaayyyyyy more so at the university level.
And it takes a strong person, a careful reader, and an inquisitive one, to see through the propaganda miasma.
Today's birthday boy is a prime example of what happens when we believe 'experts' and 'scholars' and 'professors' are objective.
Paul Samuelson, in full Paul Anthony Samuelson, (born May 15, 1915, Gary, Indiana, U.S.—died December 13, 2009, Belmont, Massachusetts), American economist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1970 for his fundamental contributions to nearly all branches of economic theory.
Samuelson was educated at the University of Chicago (B.A., 1935) and at Harvard University (Ph.D., 1941). He became a professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1940. He also served as an economic adviser to the United States government.
Samuelson contributed to many areas of economic theory ..."

You were fed his Leftist lies in every economics class.
2. Another 'brilliant' Liberal economist out to support communism, i.e., command and control by big government.
c. In 1970 the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, and the author of the best-selling and most popular economics text was Paul Samuelson.
"As non-economist Tim Bethell pointed out in a 1988 article in National Review, successive editions of Samuelson's Economics showed a graph of relative growth rates for the US and Soviet economies with the Soviet growth rate rising more steeply than the American one. ....the Soviets were projected to overtake the US in about twenty-five years."
John O’Sullivan, The President, the Pope, And the Prime Minister: Three Who Changed the World, p. 255
The 'data' was, of course, fed to this scholar by the same folks who built Potemkin Villages.
3. "With each new edition of the book, the date of intersection with the US economy was shifted out into the future. Samuelson's seventh edition (1967) ....put the Soviet economy at 50% of the US in 1960...with intersection ...in about 1990.
By the tenth edition (1976)....Soviet GDP had moved ahead to 57% of US........intersection point around the year 2000.
The graph has been dropped from Samuelson's ...(twelth) edition.
4. BTW.... "It is a vulgar mistake to think that most people in Eastern Europe are miserable," wrote Samuelson in the tenth edition of his textbook "Economics." This, mind you, in the aftermath of the 1953 East German uprising, the 1956 Hungarian uprising and the Poznan protests in Poland, the 1968 revolution in Czechoslovakia--all suppressed with bloodshed by Soviet tanks."
