I think his idea of “balance” was the controlled economy.
He was wrong.
Why the big and bold text? Can't your message
make do with a normal "tone of voice", so to speak?
In this regard, but not with specific regard to the
present postings, I note the debasement which
the phrase "rich text" has undergone in the
world of computerized word processing.

*Subject:* [Futurework] Galbraith and economics
This, from our local bookstore:
“John Kenneth Galbraith’s seminal work **THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY** had a
similar galvanizing effect on the nation. Published in 1958, it
influenced a generation of activists and helped to set the agenda for
the Kennedy-Johnson years. Galbraith was Professor of Economics at
Harvard for much of his life, but his view of economics made room for
morality and political action. He served Kennedy as ambassador to
India and continued to stay active in liberal politics. He continued
to write about the need to balance free-market capitalism with
government policy in 1973’s //Economics and the Public Purpose//. In
2004 Richard Parker published a good biography of Galbraith.
“You may want to reread //The Affluent Society//; you will discover
that it is all too applicable to today’s social and political climate.”
