Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. \"A compelling challenge to conventional thought\" New York Times In this newly updated edition of his classic text on the \"economics of abundance\", Galbraith lays bare the hazards of individual and social complacency about economic inequality. It is as relevant now, with the ever-widening gap between rich and poor, as when it was first published 40 years ago.

Paperback. Condición: New. John Kenneth Galbraith's international bestseller The Affluent Society is a witty, graceful and devastating attack on some of our most cherished economic myths.
