now, nikita khrushchev was wrong. but here i have in mind something in particular. one of the famous kitchen cabinet debates between vice president nixon and khrushchev was over what indicator was the sign of prosperity in an economy and how do you fight that on you? -- out? and to premier khrushchev was obvious, it was the rocket thrust. it was the symbol of soviet power and his version of soviet growth. vice president nixon, after some heming and hawing, defined color television as his indicator. now, when i speak to young people i remind them that in those days, this debate happened the year i was born, it was in a long, long period ago -- in those days color television would be like talking about the ipad today. it wasn't that nixon was in a fog somewhere. he was actually talking about something quite important. but the real answer to why khrushchev was wrong and frankly why nixon got it wrong in his debate a year later with senator kennedy was that economies that have better innovation and growth wind up with both color television and rocket thrust. so growth i

and one of the things he discovered early on was a possible exception of nikita khrushchev, no soviet had ever told a saudi complex know, you can't have all you want. they basically rubberstamped whatever the military investor complex asked for. and what was left over went to the people. windows people came into his office, his response was are you planning to attack the united states, comrade? because if you aren't, get out of my office. we don't need that stuff. and nevertheless when he came to reykjavÍk, he had been given a limit to his negotiating to a limited nuclear weapons, and that was president reagan had to give up sdi. well, i mean that's mohamed and a mountain out of a. but in the background he made such a perfect villain in a way was richard perle. at a crucial on the last day of the negotiations, president reagan said, well, maybe we should take this deal. but george shultz said mr. president, we can work it out at geneva down the road. this is the best deal i've seen in 25 years of negotiating with the soviets. take the deal. and as the president told his adviser around

think that afghanistan in 1959 and 60 as dwight eisenhower said existed quote sufferance with nikita khrushchev. this would've been a problematical theater to invest troops, but the soviet union is gone. the united states has made a great difference in the way it is anything around the world. and it could well be that we make, may make a difference here. i think it's going well. i think it could be sustained a long time. i think the afghans are not going to give us satisfaction of saying that we have converted them to your point of view, and in particular they will never give us that satisfaction. karzai has made that clear but i think the intervention will, over time, prove to make the world safer.

in this book in particular i would say that i am a much more keen on amity and her ideas and nikita khrushchev. that is the choice before us. but as a journalist i am supposed to prized conflict. i'm going to spend more of my time talking about the things that i disagree with. let me start with the areas of agreement. at think one of the really interesting things about this book is the way that it starts with perception. in many areas. touch with perceptions and insights that are more frequently associated with folks making meat into a free-market more interventionist arguments about economic policy and then move from them to pretty conservative conclusions. a tank that is true of the discussion about china, the discussion about manufacturing, and the one place where i think that this book makes a real, at least, rhetorical break from a lot of central right commentary and economics is that there is a really sound up understanding that our schools should not be to simply restore the economic status quo before the financial crisis. there is an understanding that the economy was not in good healt
