Reality: A Plain-Talk Guide to Economics, Politics, Government and Culture

Description

Mike Rosen is now in his twenty-ninth year as an award-winning talk show host on 850 KOA Radio in Denver. He's an editorial-page columnist for the Denver Post, holds an MBA degree from the University of Denver, was a corporate finance executive for Samsonite and Beatrice Foods, served as Special Assistant for Financial Management to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy at the Pentagon, and is a veteran of the U.S. Army.

For many years, people have been urging me to write a book. My excuse has always been that I just don't have the time. And unlike other authors in politics and the media, I don't have a ghost writer. But it's occurred to me that I've already written one in the body of my 1,600 columns in the Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News and other publications over more than three decades. Many have stood up to the test of time and are as relevant today as when I first wrote them. Others are valuable as historical benchmarks to set the record straight and as a correction and rebuttal to revisionist history from the usual suspects. It was Mark Twain who profoundly observed that, "History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes."
