Samantha Buker

Samantha Buker was born in Baltimore at the start of the "Reagan Revolution." She thinks Adam Smith is wrong because he believed that the individual man is a moral one.  She thinks Karl Marx is wrong because he believed Man as a collective was moral. She's always wanted to write a novel on the Great Depression...and now has the chance to write one about her own time. Miss Buker is associate editor of Capital & Crisis, Mayer's Special Situations, and Strategic Short Report.  She  is also a contributor to Whiskey and Gunpowder.
