David P. Goldman is an economist[1] and author. He came from an essentially secular left-wing Jewish family and was an atheist as a young man. He was a member of the Zionist-Socialist youth organization Hashomer Hatzair.

In 1976 he joined the LaRouche movement. Together with Konstandinos Kalimtgis and Jeffrey Steinberg, called a "U.S. Labor Party Investigating Team", Goldman co-authored Dope, Inc.[2] The book, first published by the LaRouche publishing firm of "New Benjamin Franklin House", went through three printings, the last in 1992, when it was subtitled, "the book that drove Henry Kissenger crazy".[3] It was also translated into Spanish, and published under the title Narcotrafico SA. He coauthored a book with Larouche in 1980 (The Ugly Truth About Milton Friedman[4]) and served as the economics editor of Larouche's publications.

Goldman was also a Reagan supporter, making a break with Larouche "inevitable." According to Goldman, by 1982 his interest in the movement was waning, but he nevertheless studied music at the organization's Schiller Institute until 1986. Goldman says that Larouche fired him for endorsing Reagan's economic policies.

Beginning in the 1980s he worked in the financial industry, eventually ascending to a high-level position at Bank of America. He decided to write the "Spengler" columns under a pseudonym in part to keep them apart from his professional life. In the early 1990s he began to embrace Judaism, influenced by Abraham Joshua Heschel and especially by Franz Rosenzweig.[5]

A religious Jew, Goldman says that he writes from a Judeo-Christian perspective and often focuses on demographic and economic factors in his analyses; he says his subject matter proceeds "from the theme formulated by Rosenzweig: the mortality of nations and its causes, Western secularism, Asian anomie, and unadaptable Islam."[6]
