Society of abundance
Author /compiler: Galbrait John Kennet
Publisher: Olympus-Business
Series: Modern Economic Thought
“Society of abundance” is the most famous work of John Galbrait, who saw the light in 1958 and first published in Russian.
In the center of a fascinating narrative-the prosperous United States of the 1950s (an attentive reader will easily correlate the many developed countries described with today"s realities) Successful private business continuously displays new consumer goods to the market. There are so many of them that only giant advertising expenses and an affordable loan allow you to sell everything produced. But despite the already achieved abundance, economic growth remains the criterion for the successful management of the country. All attempts by the state to develop collectively consumed benefits, whether education or urban environment, cause suspicions of corruption and chronically underfunded.
How is such a paradoxical combination of private abundance and public poverty possible? Galbrait considers several reasons: inertia in the development of economic science, ignoring new realities, personal interests of many people, as well as the harmful consequences of politics, promising people to grow personal well -being and consumption in exchange for refusing to combat poverty and inequality.
The publication will take an account on the book shelf and business theorists, and practitioners, both experienced and beginners
