Title: unsung hero
Review: This is an excellent portrayal of the life of Galbraith, set in the surrounding economic and political history of his lifetime. I highly recommend it for these reasons.In addition, a theme of Galbraith's understanding of the combination of economic and social and political currents is made clear. Impressively the lack of appreciation by the political and military figures in the US government during different presidencies, as well as the political bias affecting Galbraiths peers in the academic world comes through.In a world full of people nursing their own ends in the Air Force, government party line, and econometric biases, Galbraith's genious went often neglected or countered. But he remained able to speak to the public at large in his writings, providing a guidance of uncommon sense in his lifetime. This book presents his case admirably.
