John Kenneth Galbraith (Contemporary Economists)

Rating:
Summary: A worshipper of Galbraith is unable to give a fair portrait
Review: John Kenneth Galbraith certainly deserves inclusion in a series on the great economists of modernity. Unfortunately, the writer is a huge fan of Galbraith (and doesn't hide the fact). As a result, his criticism is almost nonexistant whereas he seems to enjoy praising Galbraith to kingdom come (and Veblen as well). A whole book on Galbraith without a mention of a major critic, Milton Friedman? Hardly worth 15 dollars, let alone 60, there undoubtebly will be greater biographies of Galbraith in coming years.
