"Shows how to break the spell that conservatives have cast over the
minds of liberals (and everyone else) for many years." -- Joseph E.
Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences (2001)
"James Galbraith elegantly and effectively counters the economic
fundamentalism that has captured public discourse in recent years,
and offers a cogent guide to the real political economy.
Myth-busting, far-ranging, and eye-opening." -- Robert B. Reich,
Professor of Public Policy, University of California at
Berkeley
"With a combination of erudition, insight, and wit worthy of John
Kenneth Galbraith, Thorstein Veblen, and John Maynard Keynes, James
K. Galbraith offers a critique of the conventional unwisdom about
the economy that is as compelling as it is provocative." -- Michael
Lind, Whitehead Senior Fellow at The New America Foundation and
author of The American Way of Strategy
"James Galbraith has written an extremely challenging book.
Although its principal target is conservative economics, it is no
less critical of conventional liberalism. Galbraith correctly
recognizes that today both approaches are intellectually bankrupt
and incapable of addressing the nation's pressing economic
problems. I hope The Predator State stimulates needed debate among
both liberals and conservatives on the mistakes both sides have
made that have gotten us to where we are now." -- Bruce Bartlett,
author of Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and
Betrayed the Reagan Legacy
