The Selected Letters of John Kenneth Galbraith invites readers to
join in conversations with presidents and first ladies, diplomats
and schoolchildren, the McCarthy 'loyalty board', foreign heads of
state and fellow economists, and a host of other correspondents. In
his long and cosmopolitan life, Galbraith wrote thousands of
letters, and Richard P. F. Holt has selected the most important of
these from his archival research, now available in print for the
first time. The letters provide an intimate account of the three
main political goals to which Galbraith devoted his professional
life: ending war, fighting poverty, and improving quality of life
by achieving a balance between private and public goods in an
affluent capitalist society. Showing his thoughtful insights and
charming wit, this collection confirms Galbraith as a man of broad
learning, superb literary skills, and deeply held progressive
ideals.
