1. Of Wealth and Wisdom 2. The Constraints of Historical Process 3. The Second Imperial Requiem 4. The Military Nexus 5. Historical Process and the Rich Index
John Kenneth Galbraith was Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics, Emeritus, at Harvard University.
Piously but astutely, Galbraith hits the shared American and Soviet
penchant for ignoring historical evolution in their rush to implant
advanced capitalism or socialism in infant nations’ economies. He
lucidly shows how newly free nations with self-governing urges
confound ‘imperialist’ politics. Finally, he assails the tragic
stupidities inherent in U.S. and Soviet arms sales to poor
countries, to conclude with prayers for the future.
