    Truth for Our Time
    Cover of 'The Economics Of Innocent Fraud' by john kenneth galbraith

    A sharp critique of contemporary economic life arguing that powerful institutions—corporations, financial interests, and a compliant expert class—systematically mislead the public with comforting myths and misleading statistics to protect their privilege; the book explains how advertising, propaganda, and expert opinion manufacture consent for harmful policies, deepen inequality, and weaken democratic accountability, while urging greater public scrutiny and institutional reform to correct the distortions that pass for sound economic management.
