"For over half a century, Canadian-born John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908) has been among the most visible of public intellectuals. His articulate, controversial, best-selling books - including The Affluent Society, Economics and the Public Purpose, and The New Industrial State - and his very partisan liberal Democrat political and public service activities secured a place for him among the rich and famous of his time." "This collection of interviews documents the long career of an influential economist and political philosopher. Many of them are occasioned by publication of his books and contain their key themes."--BOOK JACKET.
