A landmark work in economic and political thought, The New Industrial State presents John Kenneth Galbraith's bold argument that the modern economy is no longer governed by the free market, but is instead controlled by large corporations and their technocratic management class. Galbraith chronicles the rise of what he calls the technostructure — the cadre of specialists, planners, and managers who have supplanted traditional entrepreneurial capitalism — and details how these entities manipulate consumer demand and wield enormous influence over government policy. Written with sharp wit and authoritative clarity, the book challenges conventional economic orthodoxy and argues that the power of major industrial corporations has fundamentally reshaped democratic society. A seminal critique that remains as provocative and relevant today as when it was first published, it stands as one of the most important works of twentieth-century political economy.
