Im always dismayed when I meet someone who seems otherwise well-informed, but who has never even heard of the Powell Memorandum. If youre one of those people, reading it will help you understand why the country went from a New Deal frame of mind in which unions, Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment, etc., were treated as Good Things to the since-Reagan frame of mind in which those things are treated even by the mainstream media with suspicion if not outright disdain. The Powell Memorandum -- for which corporate lawyer Lewis Powell was rewarded with a seat on the United States Supreme Court by Richard Nixon -- goes a long way toward explaining the shift in political thinking in the US.
