Shriver proposed the government buy farms at going prices, divide them into family farms, and resell with federal loans and grants. Critics note the idea conflicts with longstanding USDA caution that family farms are inefficient, and warn of a circular borrowing scheme.
Analysis of Fortune editor Gilbert Burck argues that computer driven automation shifts work rather than destroys it. He cites an oil refinery and plastics plant as examples where fewer direct jobs exist but overall productivity lowers costs and creates thousands of positions in distribution management and engineering. The advance, he says, could sustain long term economic growth.

Raymond Moley traces the shifting currents of the GOP from Lincoln to Goldwater.
