The New Industrial State is a profound analysis of the modern economy, written by John Kenneth Galbraith. In this work, Galbraith examines the evolution of capitalism and the rise of large corporations, as well as their impact on society. The author argues that companies have achieved significant power over markets and consumers, which has led to centralized economic planning and a decrease in competition. In addition, he explores topics such as the influence of technology, advertising, and the role of the State in the economy. This edition, translated into Spanish, offers a critical and updated perspective on contemporary economic challenges.
John Kenneth Galbraith, also known as J. K. Galbraith or Ken Galbraith, was a Canadian-American economist, diplomat, public official, and intellectual. His books on economic topics were bestsellers from the 1950s through the 2000s. As an economist, he leaned toward post-Keynesian economics from an institutionalist perspective. He served as the deputy director of the powerful Office of Price Administration (OPA) during World War II in charge of stabilizing all prices, wages and rents in the American economy, to combat the threat of inflation and hoarding during a time of shortages and rationing, a task which was successfully accomplished.
