Are We Making Progress Toward the Good Society?

Chapter 23 in Interpreting Keynes for the 21st Century, 2007, pp 292-299 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In 1988, an alumnus of the Kennedy School (Greg Davidson) and his economist father (I) wrote a book entitled Economics for a Civilized Society (1988). Of this book, Ken Galbraith wrote: “This remarkably informative, wide-reaching book is the civilized product of two civilized authors”. In 1996 this book went into a second edition at the same time that Galbraith’s The Good Society (1996) was published. In a copy of Galbraith’s The Good Society that he sent to me, he wrote: “To Paul Davidson to whom I, and this book, owe so much!”
