The world has become increasingly separated into the haves and
have-nots. In The Culture of Contentment, renowned economist John
Kenneth Galbraith shows how a contented class--not the privileged
few but the socially and economically advantaged majority--defend
their comfortable status at a cost. Middle-class voting against
regulation and increased taxation that would remedy pressing social
ills has created a culture of immediate gratification, leading to
complacency and hampering long-term progress. Only economic
disaster, military action, or the eruption of an angry underclass
seem capable of changing the status quo. A groundbreaking critique,
The Culture of Contentment shows how the complacent majority
captures the political process and determines economic policy.
