Galbraith, John Kenneth
The Culture of Contentment
Boston, Houghton Mifflin Co. 1992. First printing. Hardcover. 195pp. 22 cm. Very good condition/good, This book traces the course of America's current sense of contentment, stemming from the economic comfort achieved by the fortunate, politically dominant community during the Reagan-Bush era of the 1980s. Galbraith focuses on the results of this stasis, including short-term thinking and investment, government as a burden, and corporate sclerosis. The author also explores international issues, such as the parallels between the denial of trouble in Eastern Europe and problems unrecognized in America. This book is a groundbreaking assessment of the future of America.
