John Kenneth Galbraith And the Future of Economics

This book examines the life and works of John Kenneth Galbraith and demonstrates how his non-conventional approach to economics is critical to understanding the trouble that currently exists within economics and economic policies. With new perspectives on his work, this book proposes new answers to the economic challenges both industrialized and developing economies are facing.
