1. The Great Crash of 1929 The Great Crash of 1929
from Mariner Books
Price: $9.71

Customer Review:
I keep this book around to read occasionally. My edition has a printing history going back to 1954. The stock market crash is a point in history that I've tried to understand. mmm...the bankers kept pumping money into the system...until they couldn't do it anymore. Who were these people and how did... more info

2. A Short History of Financial Euphoria (Whittle) A Short History of Financial Euphoria (Whittle)
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.78

Customer Review:
How appropriate this book is, given the recent real estate bubble burst. It is a short study of the historical bursting of bubbles. John Galbraith is a renowned economist, and admits he can't predict when bubbles will burst, just that they will. The language you hear during the upward trend of... more info

3. The Affluent Society The Affluent Society
from Mariner Books
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
A true classic that is as relevant to explaining today's society as that in which Galbraith wrote it - and never more so than Galbraith's argument that we need a better social balance between private and public expenditure. As the gap grows between the urban rich and poor, he notes, more of the rich... more info

It does not take this book very long to get to how organizations need a system of motivation which appeals to the individuals who will take part in the organization's activities.

5. Barchester Towers Barchester Towers
from E-Classics

Customer Review:
In Barchester Towers you have the feeling of being in a command center during a war; everyone is in uniform; archdeacons are common, and bishops, far from rare. It is an exceedingly rare perspective of the Church of England's clerical politics, and Trollope brings it to life with Giotto-like... more info

7. The New Industrial State (The James Madison Library in American Politics) The New Industrial State (The James Madison Library in American Politics)
from Princeton University Press
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
John Kenneth Galbraith didn't respect the literary conventions of economics. He didn't express himself in math, he made sweeping generalizations about society (not always backed by strong evidence), and he freely drew on the insights of history, sociology, and politics, paying little heed to... more info

8. The Economics of Innocent Fraud: Truth For Our Time The Economics of Innocent Fraud: Truth For Our Time
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Galbraith remains the best 20th century economist because he understood that Economics isn't real science. Economists occupy a role that the Catholic Church occupied in Medieval Europe. Most clergy are corrupt or useless or filling some office of prestigious busy work with high qualifications and... more info

9. The Good Society: The Humane Agenda The Good Society: The Humane Agenda
from Mariner Books
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
It is refreshing to read a book by an author who provides answers and not just criticisms. Professor Galbraith truly conforms to Robert Heilbroner's colorful description of the economists throughout history as The Worldly Philosophers. Without doubt this is the work of one of our modern day Worldly... more info

10. Mrs. Kennedy Goes Abroad Mrs. Kennedy Goes Abroad
from Artisan

Customer Review:
I interviewed Jacqueline Duheme when she was promoting this exquisite book, and one thing remains in my mind that she said about "The Grand Dame, Jacqueline" - that she could have been a painting woman!!!
