El triunfo, subtitled by its author as 'a novel of modern diplomacy', is a work that explores the intervention of US intelligence services in Central America. Originally published in 1968, this 1994 edition remains relevant by anticipating tragic events in real history. The novel examines the lack of rectitude in foreign policy decisions, especially in relation to communism in underdeveloped countries.
John Kenneth Galbraith, also known as J. K. Galbraith or Ken Galbraith, was a Canadian-American economist, diplomat, public official, and intellectual. His books on economic topics were bestsellers from the 1950s through the 2000s. As an economist, he leaned toward post-Keynesian economics from an institutionalist perspective. He served as the deputy director of the powerful Office of Price Administration (OPA) during World War II in charge of stabilizing all prices, wages and rents in the American economy, to combat the threat of inflation and hoarding during a time of shortages and rationing, a task which was successfully accomplished.
