Customer Reviews

An Okay Introduction

This book is great as an introduction to economics. A bit outdated -- Galbraith talks a lot about oligopolies, which were more commonplace back in the late-'70s than today.

Typical Galbraithian Work

If you're a fan of Professor John Kenneth Galbraith you'll definitely want to get your hands on a copy of this. It tends to stray away from technicality, as he tends to, and focus on getting the message across.This book is in an interview format, and is hence even easier to read.It is exactly what is says, and is very good for an introduction to neo-classical economics, and Galbraith's view of the status-quo trends.
