Conclusion: Galbraith and the Emancipation of Belief

David Reisman

Chapter 9 in Galbraith and Market Capitalism, 1980, pp 169-174 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Galbraith is not a prophet of doom. Rather, he is an optimist convinced that the future will be better than the past and that the radical social critic such as himself will help to make it so. The social critic notices a flaw in the existing fabric of society, brings it to the attention of the community, stimulates redress of grievances by provoking political controversy, and thus performs the essential function of mobilising public opinion on the side of progress.
