Introduction: Galbraith and Market Capitalism

In: Galbraith and Market Capitalism

Author

Listed:
  • David Reisman

Abstract

Galbraith is witty, provocative, stimulating, intelligent, unorthodox, outspoken and eminently readable. He is also vague, repetitious, arrogant, mercenary, journalistic, dogmatic and an élitist snob. Above all he is important, challenging, controversial and confusing. The present book is intended as an attempt to make sense of the complexities of Galbraith’s work and to provide a tentative assessment of a social critic frighteningly easy to read and tantalisingly difficult to understand. The present book is also concerned with the theory and practice of inarket capitalism, for it is that which occupies the centre of the stage in the epic drama of the Galbraithian system.
