Which screeds did you have in mind?

“Which screeds did you have in mind?”

He’s probably talking about “The Real Lincoln”. He went a bit overboard in that book, but Lincoln had it coming. Scholars have been worshipping him far too long.

DiLorenzo wrote some really wretched books about Abraham Lincoln. He really hates Abe, and he doesn't always do his research properly. He's also thrown one together about Alexander Hamilton.

DiLorenzo paints things in very stark colors -- all heroes on one side, all villains on the other -- but that doesn't always work in political history.

I don't have any problem with what he says in this article, but here he's reporting what other economists have said, rather than coming up with much on his own.
