After such books as The Great Crash 1929 and The Affluent Society it is hardly surprising that Professor Galbraith has often ranked, in literary surveys, as the best non-fiction writer in English. Whatever defence he himself offers for 'The Language of Economies', most of us remain convinced that the subject has not always been presented in the most limpid and digestible prose. But Galbraith has always been different: he has possessed the knack of clarifying the antics of capitalism without entirely endorsing the pretensions of socialism. The essays in this volume are concerned with economic issues, with peace and foreign policy, with his own recollections of contemporary statesmen and writers, and with delightful memories of California, Vermont and Switzerland. And Galbraith's observations on the 'Great Socialist Revival' under Nixon or on economics as a system of belief are as lucid and humorous as his account of Khrushchev meeting the richest men in America or John Steinbeck urging him not to become an ambassador.

« Cet essai se propose de montrer comment, en fonction des pressions financières et politiques ou des modes du moment, les systèmes économiques et politiques cultivent leur propre version de la vérité. Une version qui n'entretient aucune relation nécessaire avec le réel. » --J.K. GALBRAITH  Né en 1908, John Kenneth Galbraith, économiste américain célèbre dans le monde entier, et mort en 2006, s'est attaché à décrire l'avenir des sociétés industrielles. On lui doit, entre autres, *Le Capitalisme américain* (1958), *L'Ére de l'opulence* (1961) et *Le Nouvel État industriel* (1967).
