For those interested in the impact of McCarthyism on the economics  
profession I thought I should draw your attention to a recent article of  
interest: 
 
W.U. Solberg and R.W. Tomilson, "Academic McCarthyism and Keynesian  
economics: The Bowen controversy at the University of Illinois." HOPE 29  
(1): 55-81. 
 
Solberg and Tomilson show that academic McCarthyism drove out both the  
nascent Keynesians and those who were more "toolkit"-oriented. Among those  
affected: Reid, Hurwicz, Eisner, Patinkin, Brady, and Modigliani.
