En 'La economía del fraude inocente', John Kenneth Galbraith, uno de los economistas más influyentes del siglo XX, ofrece una crítica mordaz de la economía, la política y la moralidad pública contemporáneas. Galbraith argumenta que la distancia entre la realidad y la sabiduría convencional es enorme debido al engaño y la falsedad generalizados. Políticos y medios de comunicación han adoptado mitos del mercado, como la idea de que las grandes corporaciones trabajan por el bien público y que la intervención estatal debe ser mínima. El autor denuncia la aceptación acrítica de un sistema que distorsiona la verdad y exalta la especulación, instando a una reflexión profunda sobre los valores que sustentan la sociedad actual.

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.
