Why worship work and productivity if many of the goods we produce are superfluous - artificial 'needs' created by high-pressure advertising? Why begrudge expenditure on vital public works while ignoring waste and extravagance in the private sector of the economy? This title deals with these questions.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

John Kenneth Galbraith

John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-2006) foi um reputado economista, de pendor keynesiano e figura de proa de um movimento reformista norte-americano de início do século XX, o progressivismo, que visava atenuar os efeitos daquilo a que se chamaria hoje o neoliberalismo. Escreveu vasta obra sobre temas económicos, mas reflectiu também sobre os mecanismos do poder. Serviu cinco Administrações dos EUA, de F. D. Roosevelt a Lyndon Johnson, e exerceu ainda o cargo de embaixador dos EUA na Índia, durante a Administração Kennedy. Foi por duas vezes agraciado com a Presidential Medal of Freedom, por Harry S. Truman, em 1946, e por Bill Clinton, em 2000.
