The Leonard Lopate Show

John Kenneth Galbraith (HoughtonMifflin/Jerry Bauer)

John Kenneth Galbraith

Tuesday, April 28, 1998

John Kenneth Galbraith was one of the most influential American economists of the 20th century. He was also active in politics, serving in the administrations of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Baines Johnson. A prolific author, he wrote four dozen books, and over a thousand articles. He died Saturday, April 29th, 2006. We're so glad that he could have been with us on April 25th, 1998 to discuss his book, The Good Society.
