Professor Owens reviewed The Real Lincoln, by Tom DiLorenzo, in The Washington Times on May 4, 2002.

The book review does not withstand reasonable scrutiny.

First, Owens begins by describing the book as “a rehash of Confederate propaganda spiced up with touches of Marxist economic analysis.”

I think that someone has been watching Emeril.

Clearly, however, this is not a neutral or friendly review by Professor Owens.

Ignoring the fact that one might accuse Owens of rehashing Northern propaganda (and spicing it up with touches of mercantilism and John Maynard Keynes), it is both highly amusing and distressing to see Owens accuse Tom DiLorenzo of applying “Marxist economic analysis” to the life of Lincoln."
