The Age of Uncertainty The Rise and Fall of Money
'Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man's greatest source of joy, and it ranks with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all of history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.' From the elegant banks of 17th-century Amsterdam to the dark days of the Great Depression, PROFESSOR GALBRAITH traces the history of money-its uses and abuses, the grand successes and the spectacular. disasters.
A 13-part personal view by John Kenneth Galbraith of the rise and crisis of Industrial Society
