Description

Noted economist John Kenneth Galbraith has had a lifetime of access to many of the greatest public figures of our time, from Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt to Nehru to the Kennedy’s. In this clear-eyed, unsparing, and amusing look back at the world and the people he has known, Galbraith tells what these leaders did, how the y looked to him then, a nd how they look to him now. With unforgettable reminiscences and engaging anecdotes, he relates a uniquely personal history of the twentieth century — a history he helped to shape.
