The Culture of Contentment
ISBN: 9780691171654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The world has become increasingly separated into the haves and have-nots. In The Culture of Contentment, renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith shows how a contented class--not the privileged few but the socially and economically advantaged majority--defend their comfortable status at a cost. Middle-class voting against regulation and increased taxation that would remedy pressing social ills has created a culture of immediate gratification, leading to complacency and hampering long-term progress. Only economic disaster, military action, or the eruption of an angry underclass seem... The world has become increasingly separated into the haves and have-nots.

A Tenured Professor
ISBN: 9780618154555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John Kenneth Galbraith's third novel, A Tenured Professor, is at once an intriguing tale of morality and a comic delight. Montgomery Martin, a Harvard economics professor, creates a stock forecasting model, which makes it possible for him to uncover society's hidden agendas. Seeking proof that human folly has no limit when motivated by greed, Martin initiates mass hysteria that causes investors to assume that up is the only direction. Hailed as Galbraith's wisest and wittiest novel (New York Times), A Tenured Professor is an impudently satirical tale.

American Capitalism : The Concept of Countervailing Power
ISBN: 9781560006749 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In his new introduction to this classic text on political economy, Galbraith reasserts the validity of the core thesis of American Capitalism: The best and established answer to economic power is the building of countervailing power.

This work remains an essential guidepost of American mores as well as that as of the American economy.

With customary clarity, eloquence, and humor, Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith gets at the heart of what economic security means in The Affluent Society.
