John Kenneth Galbraith, 1908-

Nascut in Canada, Galbraith este unul din economistii cei mai populari. Cartile sale divulgative au fost intotdeauna best-sellers. A studiat la Berkeley si a fost profesor la Harvard. A fost consilier al presedintilor Kennedy, McCarthy si McGovern, editor al revistei Fortune, ambasador in India si presedinte al Asociatiei Economice Americane.

Mostenitor al Institutionalismului American, analizeaza forma in care economia Statelor Unite s-a dezvoltat dupa al doilea razboi mondial: pe de o parte concentrarea oligopolistica a stimulat inovatia tehnica, in timp ce puterea marilor companii era limitata de sindicate, organizatiile de consumatori si interventia statului.
