This incisive work of economic and social commentary, The Culture Of Contentment, dissects the prevailing mindset of affluent societies. Galbraith argues that a powerful, contented majority often resists policies that would benefit the less fortunate, thereby perpetuating economic inequality. The book presents a critical analysis of how this cultural phenomenon shapes political discourse and public policy. It illustrates the mechanisms by which the comfortable class maintains its status quo, offering a compelling and thought-provoking perspective on modern capitalism. This essential reading for anyone interested in political economy and social justice offers a sharp, academic tone throughout its examination of societal structures.
