Galbraith's classic economics text has been influential, but not quite influential enough - in a world of unsustainable consumption and runaway debt, we really need some of the ideas in this book. The central idea here is that the production model of the economy is fatally flawed. It is based, Galbraith believed, on a good idea that was no longer relevant. For lifting the US out of poverty and meeting people's needs, it had worked well. Now that people were affluent and their urgent needs were all met, it was foolishness. People aren't happy, they work too hard, there is still great inequality, and there is a growing rather than shrinking income gap between rich and poor. "In recent times" he writes, "no problem has been more puzzling to thoughtful ... Read More:

8.World Economy Since the Wars: A Personal View by: John Kenneth Galbraith 1994-07
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Whatever your politics, it's difficult to deny that the liberal-left side of the argument has easily the most stylish advocate in Galbraith. His incomparable wit, irony and lucidity were as sharp as ever at age 85, and the spurts of mockery, even when they're a bit unfair e.g. 'the military mind, or what is commonly so denoted' are memorable in the extreme. The problem with economics is that many, very likely most, of us do not understand the subject well enough to make responsible political judgments as citizens and electors. The proclivity to equate our prejudices with great and prevalent truth is strong, and discussion is overly dominated by those Galbraith terms 'the stridently vocal and pathologically ignorant'. He addresses this shortfall with a chronological commentary on world economic history ... Read More:

This isn't just another rant about the evils of the corporations. It's a very cool and sharp analysis that's worth buying, reading, and re-reading just for the chapter on the imperatives of technology.
