Of Galbraith's classic examination of the 1929 financial collapse,
the Atlantic Monthly said: "Economic writings are seldom notable for
their entertainment value, but this book is. Galbraith's prose has
grace and wit, and he distills a good deal of sardonic fun from the
whopping errors of the nation's oracles and the wondrous antics of
the financial community." Originally published in 1955, Galbraith's
book has risen once again as Americans look for perspective on the
current global financial crisis. This new edition will be published
on the 80th anniversary of the Great Crash with a new introduction by
the author's son, economist, James K. Galbraith. He is the author of
The Predator State: How Conservatives Abandoned the Free Market and
Why Liberals Should Too.
