Critics Review
“Galbraith puts his pessimism into an engaging, plausible frame. His contentions deserve the attention of all economists and serious financial minds across the political spectrum.” * Publishers Weekly (starred) *
“Forceful prose and admittedly provocative suggestions…. Students of economics will enjoy the robust, fearless rebuke he delivers to some of the discipline’s giants…. A cleareyed…analysis of the new normal…for the 21st century.” * Kirkus *

And to restore a measure of that lost confidence Galbraith lays out a bold intellectual agenda.” * Book Forum *
