Show Suny Librctl Economists Are Not All Dead By GAIL COLLINS LPI Business Writer NEW YORK - LPI i Business is brisk these days for writer Robert Kuttner who's found himself greatly in demand as a "token liberal" for economic debates with the leading lights of the New Conservatism. " If you're 25 and getting out of school, all the action is on the right," he said. "I worry about where the next generation of egalitarians is going to come from. It's pretty lonely." Kuttner, who writes for The New Republic and other magazines, has just finished a book that challenges what he feels is a central myth in conservative economic theories: that efficiency and egalitarianism are contradictory goals, and that the United i States must choose between "prosperity and social justice." "The Economic Illusion," published by Houghton Mifflin, examines the economies of other industrialized countries, and shows, Kuttner said, that "the relationship between efficiency and economic equality differs all over the lot. Clearly Japan proves full employment doesn't have to be inflationary." Japan also has both high corporate tax rates and high rate of savings, he said. Other European nations achieve high capital investment with low depreciation allowances. The-- economic behavior of a nation depends as much on what the people regard as the social contract as it does on the specific government policies implemented, he said. i Si- i 1 One genet dlitv Kuttner did em-brfh i! e rr ' '''( to an citizens, ments, available tend to be more efficient than means-testeprograms like Medicaid that are available only to the poor. "A big example is medicine. We have an awful mixed public-privat- e system where the private market regulates costs but the government pays the bill." Kuttner does not expect his position as a lonely liberal to end quickly. "I find everybody 1 agree with these days is at least 60 years old." he said. But the conventional wisdom of American economic thought has changed before and will change again, he predicted. As long as people feel equal economic opportunity can be achieved by individual effort, he said, "there's no conflict. But when individualism doesn't get you there, the United States can turn very radical. The country is a' Nnwmher THE HERALD.

Ashworth retired after spending about 29 years as a store manager for Albertson's, having directed stores in the Salt Lake area, Provo and Orem. "The toughest thing is to leave friends that you've had shopping and working with you" for 30 years," he said. Ashworth noted one customer told him that morning he had only twice in 24 years shopped at a store not managed by Ashworth. During that time, Ashworth managed four different stores and the customer followed him to each store. Ashworth also has a checker who has followed him for 24 years. He said he expects to spend more time with his wife, Helen. "She's been a store widow," he said. Also, retiring will allow him to attend little league sports events and piano and dance recital involving his grandchildren. Ashworth came to the Provo FiftS West store in 1960. In 1974, he managed the N. Canyon Road store when it was opened. He served six years at Ihe Orem stcre before going back to the Canyon Road store. In February, he helped open the Parkway Plaza store.
