Documentary

A 13-part personal view by John Kenneth Galbraith of the rise and crisis of Industrial Society. The ideas of economists and social philosophers shape actions and events even when we are unaware of their sources. They have had a decisive influence on the great rush of change and revolution through which the world has passed in the last two hundred years. Professor Galbraith traces these ideas and their consequences.
