En 'The New Industrial State', John Kenneth Galbraith ofrece un análisis profundo y crítico de la economía moderna, argumentando que Estados Unidos ha evolucionado hacia un estado industrial controlado por grandes corporaciones. Galbraith examina cómo estas empresas gestionan la demanda a través de la publicidad, creando necesidades artificiales en los consumidores, y cómo las corporaciones multinacionales extienden este sistema de poder a nivel internacional. Su objetivo principal no es el bienestar social, sino la perpetuación de sus ganancias. Esta edición revisada incluye referencias bibliográficas y ofrece una perspectiva esencial sobre la estructura económica 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.
