The acceptance by the business sector in America of the fact that public investment must supplement private investment, in order for the economy not to stagnate, constitutes the essence of the "Keynesian Revolution."

7. Walter Lippmann, The Public Philosophy (Little, Brown & Company, 1955). For an even more telling source of the cold warrior thesis that public pacifism in England let to World War II, see John Kennedy, Why England Slept (Funk & Wagnalls, 1961).

9. Richard W. Steele, "Franklin D. Roosevelt and His Foreign Policy Critics," in Political Science Quarterly Spring, 1979), 15. Also see the book reviews by Barton Bernstein in recent issues of Inquiry magazine.
