He pays particular attention to the self-serving economic comfort achieved by the fortunate and politically dominant community and contrasts this to the condition of the underclass which he sees as being for the first time in these countries stalled in poverty. Ulinski rated it really liked it Jul 18, The culture of contentment is characterized by: a functional underclass to do the stuff we won't , military and market worship, fear of high taxes even for the upper class, since the contented middle class may be next , hatred of government intervention except for bailouts and subsidies , and short-term thinking. A good one-time read. Paperback , pages. Meanwhile, the use of workfare to suppress wages is widely, if quietly, lauded, across the continent, at least in right-wing circles.

The other part is a matter of style. The current right-wing political settlements across the continent can, therefore, be said to be an attack on universalism but, more than that: they are an attempt to manufacture consent based upon exclusion and a deliberate removal from political discussion of any topics outside the normal political conversation, for example, relating to inequality or the environment.

  • Praise for the Selected Letters of John Kenneth Galbraith
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01988-1 — The Selected Letters of John Kenneth Galbraith Edited by Richard P. F. Holt Frontmatter More Information Praise for The Selected Letters of John Kenneth Galbraith John Kenneth Galbraith occupied a unique place in American economics: a scholar, a policy advocate, a public official, and a popular author on both the printed page and the television screen. We admired each other and were good friends while both at Harvard. The letters now published reveal the sharp intellect and precision of wording in nailing down personal, political, and economic presentations and exposing cant and imprecision. Kenneth J. Arrow, Professor of Economics, Stanford University, and winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics John Kenneth Galbraith prided himself on the quality of his writings and that is apparent in the precision and wit of these letters. Even more than in his published writings, he used irony and humor to skewer the conventional wisdom. What is also striking is the quality of the advice he gave his correspondents – both the powerful and the obscure – and how seldom he was wrong. John Kenneth Galbraith will be remembered for his intellectual and diplomatic achievements but these letters also record extraordinary friendships. Ambassador Peter W. Galbraith Letter writing is fast becoming a lost art, killed by social media. And that is why Ric Holt’s volume is especially welcome and important, preserving the wonderful elegant voice of John Kenneth Galbraith: economist, public intellectual, diplo- mat, and Harvard professor. After reading this book, all readers will learn, laugh, and emerge more educated.

WHITE LECTURE 3 The Theodore H. White Lecture on Press and Politics commemorates the life of the late reporter and historian who created the style and set the standard for contemporary political journalism and campaign coverage. White, who began his journalism career delivering the Boston Post, entered Harvard College in 1932 on a newsboy's scholarship. He studied Chinese history and Oriental languages. In 1939, he wit­ nessed the bombing of Peking while freelance reporting on a Sheldon Fellowship, and later explained, "Three thousand human beings died; once I'd seen that I knew I wasn't going home to be a professor." During the war, White covered East Asia for Time and returned to write Thunder Out of China, a controversial critique of the American­ supported Nationalist Chinese government. For the next two decades, he contributed to numerous periodicals and magazines, published two books on the Second World War and even wrote fiction. A lifelong student of American political leadership, White in 1959 sought support for a 20-year research project, a retrospective of presiden­ tial campaigns.

  • The Affluent Society John Kenneth Galbraith the Concept Of
    The Concept of the Conventional Wisdom [from The Affluent Society] This article originally appeared in The Affluent Society, by many con- sidered my most influential book, and certainly the one with the widest audience. It was published in 1958 in the United States and thereafter in a large number of other countries. For many months it was high on the American bestseller list. There were occasional mishaps in its reception. In the spring of 1958, just after publication, Catherine Galbraith and I set out on a long journey to Latin America; this took us down the west coast to Ecuador, Peru and Chile, across to Argentina and back up along the east. When we reached Montevideo, where I was giving a major lecture, word had come of the intense discussion of my work back home. Since the Mon- tevideo paper was to put my photograph on the front page, the editors had telephoned to get some details on my new distinction, but unfortu- The Affluent Society nately two words with a similar sound got confused: I was billed not as John Kenneth Galbraith a leading economist but as a leading American Communist.

Born to privilege as the daughter of one of Pakistan's great feudal families, she was groomed for a diplomatic career and was thrust into the political arena when her father, Pakistan's charismatic and controversial prime minister, was executed. She then led Pakistan, one of the most turbulent and impoverished nations in the world, through two terms as prime minister in the 1980s and 1990s, but she struggled to ward off charges of corruption and retain her tenuous hold on power and was eventually forced into exile. Bhutto returned to Pakistan in 2007, only to be assassinated by a suicide bomber as her motorcade rode into Karachi for what was intended to be a triumphant return. Including interviews with key figures who knew Bhutto and have never before spoken on the record, Benazir Bhutto: Favored Daughter illuminates Bhutto's tragic life as well as the role she played as the first female prime minister of Pakistan. Celebrated literary critic Brooke Allen approaches Bhutto in away not many have done before in this taut biography of a figure who had a profound effect on the volatile politics of the Middle East, drawing on contemporary news sources and eyewitness reports, as well as accounts from her supporters and her enemies.
