This well-preserved copy of John Kenneth Galbraith’s seminal work, “The New Industrial State,” offers a remarkable window into the economic and social landscape of the mid-20th century. Published in 1967, at the height of the post-war economic boom, Galbraith’s incisive analysis challenged the traditional assumptions of classical economics and introduced the concept of the “technostructure” – a new power dynamic within large corporations driven by the expertise of technical specialists and managers.

Galbraith’s prophetic insights into the concentration of economic power and the emergence of a new industrial class resonated deeply with readers, sparking widespread debate and influencing generations of economists and policymakers. This edition, with its original dust jacket and well-preserved hardcover, serves as a tangible link to the era when Galbraith’s ideas first captivated the public imagination, offering collectors and readers alike a chance to immerse themselves in a landmark text that continues to shape our understanding of modern capitalism.
