John Kenneth Galbraith. First edition, stated first printing. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin Company, 1960. Both price-clipped dust jacket and hardcover are in Very Good condition. Dust jacket designed by Walter Lorraine. No writing or markings in the book, 197 pp.
Professor Galbraith splits his work into two parts - the first concerns such contemporary questions as economic competition with Russia and that hardy and irrepressible perennial, inflation - and what to do about it. The second part deals with the myths, misconceptions, and misreading of American history, from the Civil War to the Great Depression.
