The Economics Of Innocent Fraud by john kenneth galbraith
Truth for Our Time
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.
