A compelling challenge to conventional thought' - "New York Times". In this newly updated edition of his classic text on the "economics of abundance", Galbraith lays bare the hazards of individual and social complacency about economic inequality. It is as relevant now, with the ever-widening gap between rich and poor, as when it was first published 40 years ago.

"The Affluent Society" exemplifies Galbraith's wit, clarity and eloquence of prose.
读加尔布雷斯《丰裕社会》 早就听说过一句话:一个经济学科的学生,如果没有读过加尔布雷斯的《丰裕社会》,那么他的经济学知识是不完整的。我一直疑心这不过又是一句言过其实的推销用语,不过在读完《丰裕社会》以后,我觉得这句话确实是有道理的。这倒不是说《丰裕社会》有...
评分在经济学逐渐把自身定位成自然科学,基础学科。并竭力给人留下严谨而充满数学模型印象的过程中,加尔布雷思于主流经济学界确实算是异类。就仅仅和对头萨缪尔森的《经济学》已经再版18次相比,加氏的那种少了模型多了良心的“异端”经济学似乎在主流经济横行的现代是卖不动...

评分终于看完了。。。在开始的时候有点不适应,用词太巧妙了(其实是我词汇太少)。作者描述了在以生产最大化、经济增长为中心的信仰下,美国的发展。作者认为传统经济学认为生产创造需求,能解决各种问题的观念是错误的。此外,书中有些对于人性、心理的揭示说的很好啊,让我不禁怀疑莫非经济学家尤其是重注社会福利的,都是有哲学基础吗?!
