La sociedad opulenta es un análisis crítico de la economía moderna y la desigualdad social, escrito por John Kenneth Galbraith. En este libro, Galbraith cuestiona las bases de la economía clásica y examina cómo la producción masiva y la publicidad influyen en la creación de necesidades artificiales. El autor argumenta que la sociedad se enfoca demasiado en la producción privada y descuida la inversión en bienes públicos esenciales, lo que lleva a desequilibrios y problemas sociales. Esta obra ofrece una perspectiva provocadora sobre la economía y la sociedad contemporánea.

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.
