Synopsis
The classic by the renowned economist: &“One of those rare works that forces a nation to re-examine its values&” (The New York Times). One of the New York Public Library&’s &“Books of the Century&” Hailed as a &“masterpiece&” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), this examination of the &“economics of abundance&” cuts to the heart of what economic security means (and doesn&’t mean) and lays bare the hazards of individual and societal complacence about economic inequity. The book that introduced the phrase &“conventional wisdom&” to our vernacular, The Affluent Society is as timely today as when it was first published. &“Warrants careful reading by every thoughtful person.&” —The Christian Science Monitor
