Product Description
Stephen Clarkson, Globe and Mail
"Richard Parker has produced a rich, well-written and fittingly
large monument to this super-sized intellectual of the 20th century."
Book Description
John Kenneth Galbraith was America's most famous economist for
good reason. A witty commentator on America's political
follies and a versatile author of bestselling books that warn prophetically
of the dangers of deregulated markets, corporate greed, and inattention to
the costs of U.S. military power (among them The Great Crash: 1929, The
Affluent Society, and The New Industrial State), Galbraith always made
economics relevant to the crises of the day. This first full-length
biography is, in Richard Parker's hands, an important reinterpretation both
of public policy and of how economics is practised.
