The Affluent Society by J.K. Galbraith: Review
Reading The Affluent Society is a revitalising and empowering shot in the arm for anyone
questioning in any way what JK calls the 'conventional wisdom'. The book, first written in
1958 and then reissued as a new edition in 1998 is an astonishing tour de force, debunking
and deconstructing the tenets of the 'central tradition' of economics.
