'Galbraith for the Twenty-first century! Prescient, lucid, elegant. Where others are lost groping in the shadows, James K. Galbraith sees the big picture. His writing is like a torch that guides us through the cave of the present into the light.' - Sidney Blumenthal, formerly Senior Advisor to President Clinton and author of The Clinton Wars
'The reason Jamie Galbraith is such an important writer is because he asks the right questions. You would be amazed at the number of people who pass for pundits or even sages who can't hit the backboard with a question, much less hit the net. That Galbraith knows the answers too strikes me less
impressive. He is after all, an economist and a political scientist and an
academic; he's supposed to know these things. He even did time in the
bowels of congress and so knows how it actually works. Galbraith's writing
is crisp, funny, and incisive. Krugman, move over, Galbraith is here.' -
