John Kenneth Galbraith, 97, Dies; Economist Held a Mirror to Society - New York Times: "... among his 33 books was 'The Affluent Society' (1958), one of those rare works that forces a nation to re-examine its values. He wrote fluidly, even on complex topics, and many of his compelling phrases — among them 'the affluent society,' 'conventional wisdom' and 'countervailing power' — became part of the language. "
A good read this Sunday morning.
