This Dust Jacket Reads: In the urgent years of the Great Depression, Professor Galbraith concerned himself with agriculture in Canada and with agriculture and economics at Berkeley. After a year of teaching at the University of California he served briefly in FDR's administration and then went on to Harvard. He spent the late thirties in Cambridge, England, where his life centered on the new economics of John Maynard Keynes. In the war years, he held what was arguably the most powerful civilian post in war administration; he organized and administered the system of wartime price control. At the end of the war, Galbraith served as a director of the survey that interrogated Herman Goering, Joahim von Ribbentrop, Albert Speer and other high Nazis amd assessed the effects of the air war on the German economy. Thereafter he worked for the State Department as administrator o economic affairs in the occupied counries and servd as an editor of "Fortune" when that magazine was enlisting the talent of some of the greatest writers of the day.
