Review:

"No American writer has done more to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable than John Kenneth Galbraith."--USA Today

"Lively."--Library Journal

"With characteristic wit and clarity [Galbraith] suggests that while good money may indeed be driven out by the bad, it is political suicide to assume that the suckers left holding the bad will take it lying down. . . . [T]here is no more current, more judicious, or more entertaining a perspective."--Kirkus Reviews

From the Back Cover:

"Moneyremains the best introduction to the subject available. It is a classic in the history of money and finance."--Steven Pressman, editor of The Legacy of John Kenneth Galbraith

"Moneyis a book of perennial importance. Galbraith demonstrates a prescient insight and keen alertness to financial volatility and rising inequality."--Richard Parker, Harvard Kennedy School
