Sinossi
Il bestseller internazionale di John Kenneth Galbraith, The Affluent Society, è un attacco spiritoso, aggraziato e devastante ad alcuni dei nostri miti economici più amati. Tanto attuale oggi quanto quando fu pubblicato per la prima volta oltre quarant'anni fa, questa nuova edizione aggiornata del classico testo di Galbraith sull'''economia dell'abbondanza'' mette a nudo i pericoli dell'autocompiacimento individuale e sociale sulla disuguaglianza economica. Perché adorare il lavoro e la produttività se molti dei beni che produciamo sono superflui, ''bisogni'' artificiali creati dalla pubblicità ad alta pressione? Perché lesinare la spesa per opere pubbliche vitali ignorando sprechi e stravaganze nel settore privato dell'economia? L'economia classica è nata in un mondo duro di povertà di massa e ci ha lasciato con una serie di preconcetti mal adattati alle realtà della nostra epoca più ricca. E così, troppo spesso, ''gli insipidi guidano gli insipidi''. I nostri problemi insoliti necessitano di un nuovo approccio e l'accoglienza riservata a questo famoso libro ha dimostrato il valore delle sue idee fresche e vivaci. ''Una sfida avvincente al pensiero convenzionale'' The New York Times ''Si dimostra un uomo veramente sensibile e civile, le cui idee sono radicate nella cultura comune dei due continenti e possono fungere da collegamento tra di essi; il suo libro è di fondamentale importanza per entrambi'' The Times Literary Supplement John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-2006) è stato un economista canadese-americano. Keynesiano e istituzionalista, Galbraith è stato uno dei principali sostenitori del liberalismo e del progressismo americano del XX secolo. Galbraith è stato autore di 30 libri, tra cui The Economics of Innocent Fraud, The Great Crash: 1929 e A History of Economics.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. John Kenneth Galbraith's international bestseller The Affluent Society is a witty, graceful and devastating attack on some of our most cherished economic myths. As relevant today as when it was first published over forty years ago, this newly updated edition of Galbraith's classic text on the 'economics of abundance', lays bare the hazards of individual and social complacency about economic inequality. Why worship work and productivity if many of the goods we produce are superfluous - artificial 'needs' created by high-pressure advertising? Why begrudge expenditure on vital public works while ignoring waste and extravagance in the private sector of the economy? Classical economics was born in a harsh world of mass poverty, and has left us with a set of preconceptions ill-adapted to the realities of our own richer age. And so, too often, 'the bland lead the bland'. Our unfamiliar problems need a new approach, and the reception given to this famous book has shown the value of its fresh, lively ideas. 'A compelling challenge to conventional thought' The New York Times 'He shows himself a truly sensitive and civilized man, whose ideas are grounded in the common culture of the two continents, and may serve as a link between them; his book is of foremost importance for them both' The Times Literary Supplement John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-2006) was a Canadian-American economist. A Keynesian and an institutionalist, Galbraith was a leading proponent of 20th-century American liberalism and progressivism. Galbraith was the author of 30 books, including The Economics of Innocent Fraud, The Great Crash: 1929, and A History of Economics. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001404058
