Talk:Ferdinand Lundberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Birthyear?

Several sources, including biography for a book, give 1902. Schissel | Sound the Note! 18:24, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Subject very biased

Lundberg's The Rockefeller Syndrome is ludicrously biased--no attempt at objectivity. A quick Google search doesn't show any critical evaluation of his work. So it is uncertain if his work is seriously regarded. The dust jacket of Syndrome claims The Rich and the Super-Rich was a number one bestseller in the US and Germany. The same source states Lundberg received a bachelor and master degree from Columbia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.192.125 (talk) 06:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rich and Super-Rich Was certainly Bestseller in 1968

It's an excellent book (though certainly biased) that should certainly have its own article. Over this weekend, I'll write one. Here's a corroborating source for its bestseller status: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,838725-4,00.html. The Rich and the Super-Rich used to have its own article, and I believe Lundberg's was longer as well. He's just about as important as, say, Thorstein Veblen or C. Wright Mills - I hope Lundberg's article can gain length again.
