Name-Dropping

Names? You want names? No one knows better ones than John Kenneth Galbraith” (San Diego Union-Tribune). With the dazzling insight humor and literary skill that mark Galbraith as one of the most distinguished writers of our time Name-Dropping charts the political landscape of the past sixty-five years. Drawing on a lifetime of access to many great public figures the famous economist offers a clear-eyed unsparing and amusing “look at prominent people . . . [he] has known from FDR on” (Larry King USA Today) and offers a rich and uniquely personal history of the century — a history he helped to shape.
