評分與其說是經濟學還不如說是一個公共知識分子對當時社會問題、政府政策與大眾福利、知識精英與公眾認識等一係列問題的思考總集。加氏文筆相對晦澀,思維兜轉,吸收非主流和早期製度經濟學理論力圖修補新古典和凱恩斯—後凱恩斯經濟學的一係列假設體係,包括:消費與需求是人天性和幸福需要,群體與階級主要以生産功能定義,而忽略社會對消費文化和大眾心理的形塑,及消費與悠閑群體的生成;基於供求關係中稀缺狀況和社會普遍貧睏地位所推導的供求關係和麯綫;科層化、大規模生産企業所形成的市場權力和控製機製,等等。對凱恩斯所倡導的適度通脹以促進充分就業和貨幣主義的控製貨幣供應以壓製通脹均不贊成,認為應分類通脹的形成機製和影響。批評美國政府在公共福利和開支方麵的低下,但後來促成瞭頗具爭議的偉大社會項目和滅貧戰爭,變相促成滯脹。

評分Published in 1958, it contributed to the "war on poverty", being a disastrous government spending policy first brought on by Kennedy and Johnson. The policy brought on ruinous levels of debt and split the country into those who have jobs and those don't.
評分富裕社會是假富裕,大多數消費都類似買五十個不同色號的口紅。
John Kenneth "Ken" Galbraith, OC (/ɡælˈbreɪθ/ gal-brayth, October 15, 1908 – April 29, 2006) was a Canadian and, later, American economist, public official, and diplomat, and a leading proponent of 20th-century American liberalism. His books on economic topics were bestsellers from the 1950s through the 2000s, during which time Galbraith fulfilled the role of public intellectual. As an economist, he leaned toward Post-Keynesian economics from an institutionalist perspective.
Galbraith was a long-time Harvard faculty member and stayed with Harvard University for half a century as a professor of economics.[4] He was a prolific author and wrote four dozen books, including several novels, and published more than a thousand articles and essays on various subjects. Among his most famous works was a popular trilogy on economics, American Capitalism (1952), The Affluent Society (1958), and The New Industrial State (1967).
Galbraith was active in Democratic Party politics, serving in the administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. He served as United States Ambassador to India under the Kennedy administration. His prodigious literary output and outspokenness made him, arguably, "the best-known economist in the world"[5] during his lifetime.[6] Galbraith was one of few recipients both of the Medal of Freedom (1946) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (2000) for his public service and contribution to science. The government of France made him a Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur.
Galbraith's classic on the "economics of abundance" is, in the words of the New York Times, "a compelling challenge to conventional thought." With customary clarity, eloquence, and humor, Galbraith cuts to the heart of what economic security means (and doesn't mean) in today's world and lays bare the hazards of individual and societal complacence about economic inequity. While "affluent society" and "conventional wisdom" (first used in this book) have entered the vernacular, the message of the book has not been so widely embraced--reason enough to rediscover The Affluent Society.
