For a second, I thought Glenn Beck was going on about Stuart Little yesterday but I don’t think America’s leading right-wing broadcaster does classic children’s books. Stuart Chase is the latest economist to be examined (negatively) by Beck, who will not become a Fabian Socialist anytime soon.

Chase (1888-1985) was an American economist and engineer, who studied at MIT and was really into semantics.

He wrote many books on a diverse number of subjects. As I searched through Chase’s books, I came across Mexico: A Study of Two Americas – the Macmillan edition has a beautiful cover but I don’t suppose Beck gives a flying Fabian about this book.
