Rea: Samuelson was one of the earliest public intellectuals from the academy. Galbraith was also in this era, but he wasn't academic influence that a samuelsenoa freeman, were. And foredman's gall clearly was to take his academic credentials and leverage those to have impact on policy and on pasticy. Both of them were intellectually honest, which i think is interestingand it's very important for all academics to be intellectually honist. They had a much larger aim, which was based upon finding the truth, which, for an academic, is really the key thing.
