«Una sociedad mejor» is the economics and society essay by John Kenneth Galbraith, published by Crítica in paperback (186 pages, in Spanish).
Galbraith attempts to define what a better society should be like, distinguishing the desirable from the feasible. He analyzes the social foundations of economics and issues such as inflation, public deficit, income distribution and power, the role of education and regulation, and environmental protection for the future.
Work originally published in 1996 as «The Good Society: The Humane Agenda», translated by Antonio Desmonts for the «Las letras de Drakontos» collection by Crítica.
Aimed at readers interested in economics, philosophy and political thought, as well as in the analysis of contemporary societies.
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.
