| Book Description | The world has become increasingly separated into the haves and have-nots. In the culture of contentment, renowned economist john kenneth galbraith shows how a contented class--not the privileged few but the socially and economically advantaged majority--defend their comfortable status at a cost. Middle-class voting against regulation and increased taxation that would remedy pressing social ills has created a culture of immediate gratification, leading to complacency and hampering long-term progress. Only economic disaster, military action, or the eruption of an angry underclass seem capable of changing the status quo. A groundbreaking critique, the culture of contentment shows how the complacent majority captures the political process and determines economic policy. |
