Description
This festschrift, assembled to honor Galbraith's 80th birthday, is a mix of general think-pieces, theoretical analyses and personal tributes. The contributors, who include George Ball, Robert Lekachman, Paul Samuelson, and Wassily Leontief, reassess Galbraith's contribution to economics. Mary Kaldor argues that the Cold War no longer works and seeks alternatives to high levels of military spending. Leontief urges a second Marshall Plan, based on a pragmatic appraisal of Third World countries' developmental needs. Lester Thurow calls for a return to the old-style capitalist-investor to replace today's take-over artist. ISBN 0-395-49179-7: $24.95.
