The Affluent Society Revisited
by Mike Berry
This title revisits John Kenneth Galbraith's 'The Affluent Society' from the perspective of the background to, and causes of, the 2008 global economic crisis. Each chapter takes a major theme of his book, distils Galbraith's arguments, and then discusses to what extent they cast light on current developments.
