John Kenneth Galbraith's classic investigation of private wealth and public poverty in postwar America

With customary clarity, eloquence, and humor, Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith gets at the heart of what economic security means in The Affluent Society. Warning against individual and societal complacence about economic inequity, he offers an economic model for investing in public wealth that challenges "conventional wisdom" (a phrase he coined that has since entered our vernacular) about the long-term value of a production-based economy and the true nature of poverty. Both politically divisive and remarkably prescient, The Affluent Society is as relevant today on the question of wealth in America as it was in 1958.

The pants are of excellent quality
Size: XX-Large, Color: Mauve/Apples
The pants are of excellent quality, made from thick material that feels very warm. By comparison, the long-sleeve T-shirt is thinner and not as warm as the pants.

I would by again. Very satisfied
Size: 14, Color: Peak Wash
My granddaughter loved the wide legged jeans. They looked so cute on her. The only thing bout them was way to long we had her aunt to hem them up a little.
