Items related to It's Velocity Stupid!
Why has the recovery from the Great Recession been dragging on? Part of the answer, I believe, lies in the pages of this book. Shockingly and alarmingly, the velocity of the M1 money supply in the U.S. fell by more than 40 per cent after the fourth quarter of 2007! However, hardly anyone seems to be paying much attention. This book studies this decline in velocity and other fluctuations in velocity, as well as emphasizing fiscal policies to complete the recovery and create desperately needed jobs and income for those who have been suffering needlessly for far too long.

Review:
Hamilton Gregory has written a superb account of the debacle that was Project 100,000. This book should be read by every one of our political leaders who need to understand the effects of stupid decisions made by those who do not understand the nature of war. ----Anthony C. Zinni, Four-Star General, U.S. Marine Corps (retired)
This book is important. I remember the men of the Special Platoons as they struggled to complete Basic Training. Each deserved a simple life doing something besides soldiering or being in combat. At least their story is being told. Forrest Gump was real. There were thousands of them. --Jan Scruggs, President Emeritus, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (the vet who led the crusade to build the Vietnam Wall in Washington)
Through riveting memoir, interviews and research Hamilton Gregory revisits McNamara s moron corps --the cynical and heinous Project 100,000 that sent low-IQ troops to Vietnam as cannon fodder...It should be mandatory reading, not just for its historical relevance, but because recruitment of the unfit is being repeated today. --Myra MacPherson, author of the Vietnam classic Long Time Passing: Vietnam and the Haunted Generation
