Synopsis: In "The Affluent Society," renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith explores the paradoxes of post-war economic prosperity. He argues that while the United States had achieved unprecedented levels of wealth, it had also created a number of social and economic problems, including:

• Rising consumerism and mass production
• Economic inequality
• The decline of the public sector
• The rise of the military-industrial complex

Galbraith's analysis is both incisive and thought-provoking. He challenges the conventional wisdom of his time and offers a new perspective on the challenges and opportunities we face in the modern economic landscape.

Why you should read "The Affluent Society":
