{"product_id":"the-affluent-society","title":"The Affluent Society","description":"John Kenneth Galbraith's classic investigation of private wealth and public poverty in postwar America.\n\nWith customary clarity, eloquence, and humor, Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith gets at the heart of what economic security means in The Affluent Society.\n\nWarning against individual and societal complacence about economic inequity, he offers an economic model for investing in public wealth that challenges “conventional wisdom” (a phrase he coined that has since entered our vernacular) about the long-term value of a production-based economy and the true nature of poverty. Both politically divisive and remarkably prescient, The Affluent Society is as relevant today on the question of wealth in America as it was in 1958.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0395925002\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGU90064V8_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Galbraith, John Kenneth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
