I'll agree with him because having collected a few dozen books devoted to FSA photos it is strange to see colour photos taken by the same small group of brilliant photographers who took thousands of monochrome images that defined the Nation's view of the Depression.

With 175 photos the book starts with an FSA ... Read More:

.In an Uncertain World: Tough Choices from Wall Street to Washington
Search: Washington
by: Robert Edward Rubin, Jacob Weisberg

October 31, 2004
Robert Rubin, Treasury Secretary in the Clinton Administration, believes in studying probability and risk. To him, uncertainty is part of life. Therefore, his inside look at the Clinton presidency and its global financial policies is carefully considered. He admits his mistakes and recounts his efforts and his successes. He offers tremendous insight on how the U.S.’s top leaders rescued other countries from financial quagmires, and he sounds an important alarm about the disconnect between the country’s growing dependence on global trade and its public lack of support for world economic relationships. Rubin carefully walks the line between being self-serving and providing sharp insights. He doesn’t offend the Clintons, though ... Read More:
