Boston Houghton Mifflin Co. 1981 Hard Cover
563 pages, cloth, dust jacket, very good. From the dj, 'In the urgent years of the Great Depression, Professor Galbraith concerned himself with agriculture in Canada and with agriculture and economics at Berkeley. After a year of teaching at the University of California, he served briefly in FDR's administration and then went on to Harvard. He spent the late thirties in Cambridge, England, where his life centered on the new economics of John Maynard Keynes. In the war years, he held what was arguably the most powerful civilian post in war administration: he organized and administered the system of wartime price control. At the end of the war, Galbraith served as a director of the survey that interrogated Hermann Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Albert Speer and other high Nazis and assessed the effects of the air war on the German economy. Thereafter he worked for the State Department as administrator of economic affairs int he occupied countries and served as an editor of Fortune when that magazine was enlisting the talent of some of the greatest writers of the day. In 1948 Prof. Galbraith returned to Harvard to write 3 of the most widely read books on economics and the postwar years - The Affluent Society, The New Industrial State and Economics and the Public Purpose. In a lively and exuberant style, the author relates all this and then goes on to discuss his two political campaigns with Adlai Stevenson, whom he served as adviser and speechwriter; John F. Kennedy, for whom he campaigned across the country; his service as ambassador in India during several terse and exciting hyears; and his long crusade against the war in Vietnam.'
