Book Reviews of The Essential Galbraith
Book Review: 1 a.m. and I'm still reading an economics book
Summary: 4 Stars
Perhaps Galraith's greatest appeal as an economist is the disdain he holds his own profession in. He is a merciless critic of thoughtlessness, ignorance, and the status-quo--and he's quite fun to read. Because this is an anthology of his life's work, themes are occassionally repeated. But you don't need to know much economics, and the writings are current.
