"Parkers biography reads as easily as a novel and is an outstanding piece of work."

The Spectator

“A fine one-volume history of economic thought in the 20th century”

The New York Times Book Review

“What makes Parker’s biography valuable is his ability to place Galbraith in a sweeping and comprehensive history of the evolution of economic thought, and to keep sight of his subject’s continuing relevance to the present day.”

The Washington Post

“When the Right's rigid ideology falters and breaks down, sooner perhaps than people imagine, Americans will need an explanation for what went wrong. They can read Galbraith.””
