Welcome is the latest of a series of on-line seminars conducted under csf and
pkt-seminars. Our current seminar features James Galbraith, author of Created
Unequal.
See what the critics have said about his book:
>From The Kirkus Reviews, May 26, 1998
"A tour de force by an economist not so handicapped by theoretical
orthodoxy that clear thinking is impossible. Economist Galbraith's
(Univ. of Texas, Austin) central concern is America's growing
inequality... At the core of the contemporary
less-than-full-employment strategy, Galbraith argues, is the Federal
Reserve's anti-inflation campaign. While many commitments are
necessary to maintain full employment, maintenance of low, stable
interest rates is fundamental, and as long as the Fed sees interest
rates as a weapon in the war against inflation, full employment will
be sacrificed..."
The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Joanne B. Ciulla
"Created Equal is not light reading, but Galbraith's elegant
arguments, passionate expostion and profound conclusions make it worth
the trouble."
