PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

LIBERAL economists, who were bypassed by policy developments at home and abroad during the Reagan years, are fond of saying that the supply-side revolution was a fluke and the era is over. Robert L. Bartley, whose editorial perch at the Wall Street Journal provides a commanding perspective, disagrees. In The Seven Fat Years: And How to Do It Again, he destroys the critics of the Decade of Greed and stakes his claim to membership in the small band that remade economic policy in the 1980s.
