En este ensayo ambicioso y de amena lectura, John Kenneth Galbraith ofrece una obra sabia y esclarecedora que cubre desde la Primera Guerra Mundial y la Revolución Rusa hasta la década de los veinte, pasando por Churchill y la Depresión en Gran Bretaña, así como Roosevelt y su New Deal. El autor analiza tanto la aparición de las teorías keynesianas como el final del colonialismo y el surgimiento del Tercer Mundo. Galbraith escribe con autoridad y erudición sobre la historia económica, examinando la era Reagan y las implicaciones de la caída del comunismo. Este libro representa la obra definitiva de una carrera brillante, cuya enseñanza exhaustiva y accesible de la historia económica y política del siglo XX será un punto de referencia obligado en los próximos años.

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.
