university of massachusetts professor, harvard ph.d, said davis was almost certainly a party member. i read john edward kidwell's book, in that book he said davis joined the communist party and produces a letter that he dates around 1943 where davis says in his own right they join the communist party. finally after looking at all of those different things, not long before the book went to press i found, i got davis' actual fbi file, which was declassified through a foia request by a fellow researcher. about six pages long, and it's as you start reading frank marshall davis' fbi file you can see their very clear takes me half an hour of reading to see that the guy was economies. very, very, very clear. in the appendix of the book i get 10 to 12 pages of the fbi file, including on page 507, this page, which him and other information actually less frank marshall davis' communist party card number, 47544. which is, i mean, that's hard evidence. i recently read some of the stuff is out there accusing howard's in a been a party member. howard zinn's i was recently released and i read the f

fact, this was right about the time, this was three or four years after the seminal book by harvard university press, the black book of communism, had come out which documented 100 million dead under communist governments. i couldn't find that figure in a single textbook. not one. i couldn't find any figures at all. none what whatsoever. by the way, the black book of communism only, only has about 25 million dead for the soviet union. when, in fact, it's probably 60-70 million. alexander, his yale university press book, he was one of gorbachev's principle reformers, and he was tasked with the duty of trying to figure out how many victims, how many people were actually killed by the communists. he says 60-70 million killed under stalin alone. alexander used numbers like that. and we know that mao probably killed about 70 million. so really numbers are probably not 100 million, it's probably about 140 million when you really go up there. but as a conservative figure, it's at least a hundred million. these numbers start to run together. just think about this: take all the dead in world war i whic

up to 2007 she was an associate professor of sociology at harvard university. her website is mariko-change. independent calling from new england. caller: information very sobering. my circumstance is i'm a meal and raised three sons by myself. early on when they were toddlers i was getting the standard deduction for children, $500 or $600. it never corresponded to what it actually cost to raise a child. it seems that if you're -- i never made more than $50,000 a year so i didn't accumulate a lot of wealth, but the circumstances of the blue collar world and what you have access to and what it costs to raise children is brutal and there's economic consequences. you know, we have politicians constantly talking about family values and they're constantly nunesing a tax code to make sure that corporations and -- have every possible convenience for themselves. we have to get back to a family-oriented, child-rearing orienting society. guest: yes. excuse me. i'm getting over a cold so my voice keeps going. but my hat is off to you. anyone that's trying to raise children

says harvard is not shy, this is the oldest university in the united states. graduate have profoundly influenced the nation and the institutions from the colonial era to the present day. the involvement of harvard students in our nation's military began very early before we are even a nation at all. they fought in the american revolution all the way through the end of the war. in the civil war, 55% of the class of 1860 spot in the northern navy -- fought in the northern navy. this university by virtue of its own history is a fitting place to talk about war, the sacrifices of war, and the purposes of war. about what to specifically talk to you about america's current wars, our fight in afghanistan and paramilitary presence in iraq. current u.s. troops is nearly 98,000. they fht as part oa diverse coalition that includes 47 other nations that work in partnership with afghanistan's allies. it includes not only traditional nato allies like france and turkey but nowhere pardners like malaysia and the united arab emirates it brings the total strength of the internati

foreign policy program after john's hopkins university school of advanced international studies, which is based in washington. he's a former faculty member at harvard and columbia universities, and the u.s. naval academy. he is the author, co-author, 11 previous books. his current one which will discuss tonight is called "the frugal superpower: america's global leadership in a cash-strapped era." let's start with the first part of the title, frugal superpower, because it's so, maybe we would not be without power altogether, will have a very important role, but in the front part of it, frugal, does it go with a superpower, at least not in our history as michael points out in his book. we got very used to spend whatever money it took to have the position we have in the world to be the underwriter issue of a global prosperity and global security. that's an era that is coming to an end. and as michael put in his book, it's going to be an unavoidable entrenched in american foreign policy, in part because of some past obligations, if you will, the key related liabilities such as the debt that we're all carrying now and the wars that we have fought and so

according to harvard university, 45,000 americans will die this year because they lack health insurance and are not getting to a doctor when they should. during the bush administration, 5 million manufacturing jobs disappeared as companies shut down plants in the united states and moved to china, mexico, vietnam, and other low-wage countries. as i mentioned earlier, profou profound -- profoundly important to understand what's going on in america. in 2000, the year 2000, we had over 17,000 manufacturing jobs in this country. by 2008, we had less than 12,0 12,000. 17,000 to 12,000 in eight years. that's the loss of 5 million manufacturing jobs, a 29% reduction. and the fewest number of manufacturing jobs since the beginning of world war ii. under president bush, our trade deficit with china more than tripled and our overall trade deficit nearly doubled. again, the point that i am making now within the context of this agreement is we need agreements now that give tax breaks to millionaires or billionaires, that do not lower the tax rate for the estate tax, which is applicable only to the t

the university of massachusetts professor harvard ph.d. davis was almost certainly a party member. i read john edgar to dwell's book. in that book, he says davis actually joined the communist party and produces a letter he dates around 1943 where davis says he joined the communist party. finally, after looking at those different things, not long before the book went to press i found, got davis's actual fbi file which was declassified through a request by a fellow researcher. 600 pages long. as soon as you start reading frank marshall davis's file you can see very clearly it takes maybe half an hour of reading to see that the guy was a communist. very clear. in the appendix of the book i give ten to 12 pages of fbi file including on page 507, this page, which among other information actually lists frank marshall davis's communist party card number. 47544. that is hard evidence. i recently read some of the stuff the keating howard then of being a a party member. i read the fbi file. there aren't things like communist party numbers in the file. when you find a file that has numbers yo

number of different things and i'm doing a great deal of teaching as well, at new york university, something at harvardas well. i'm enjoying that very much and i like representing a constituency where i grew up, was at school, with my friends, it's home, our children stay there, we don't stay in london. so that's a good thing to do. what the future holds i can't tell you because i don't think anybody can be sure about what's going to happen next. i enjoy being a member of parliament and as you know, one of the uniquenesss of the british system is that you can be the prime minister and you can be a member of the legislature and when you cease to be a prime minister you're still a member of the legislature and stay in the house of commons for the time being. >> rose: i thank you for your time. it's always good to have a conversation with you. the book is called "beyond the crash: overcoming the first crisis of globalization." gordon brown, former prime minister, former chancellor of the exchequer for the hour. thank you, again. >> thank you, charlie. what a pleasure. >> rose: on the next charlie rose, a
