This book revisits John Kenneth Galbraith's classic text The
Affluent Society in the context of the background to, and causes
of, the global economic crisis that erupted in 2008. Each chapter
takes a major theme of Galbraith's book, distils his arguments, and
then discusses to what extent they cast light on current
developments, both in developed economies and in the economics
discipline. The themes include: inequality, insecurity, inflation,
debt, consumer behaviour, financialization, the economic role of
government ('social balance'), the power of ideas, the role of
power in the economy, and the nature of the good society. It
considers the current problems of capitalism and the huge
challenges facing democratic governments in tackling them. Written
in non-technical language, this book is accessible to students of
economics and the social sciences as well as to those who would
have read The Affluent Society and the general reader interested in
contemporary affairs and public policy.
