John Kenneth Galbraith: Economic Structures and Policies for the Twenty-First Century, (Editor) Emerald Press, 2024.

The Selected Letters of John Kenneth Galbraith, Cambridge University Press, 2017

 To receive a letter from Ken Galbraith was a delicious treat, even if it came wrapped in stinging nettles.To read this collection of Galbraith's letters is to replay the political and intellectual history of the United States during  the twentieth century. Few Americans knew so many people involved with the country's great currents, or thought so 

 incisively about the great questions of the day, or played so active a role in addressing them.No one wrote about them  more engagingly, or with more grace and eloquence and wit.— Benjamin M. Friedman, William Joseph Maier Professor of Political Economy, HarvardUniversity

Letter writing is fast becoming a lost art, killed by social media. And that is why Ric Holt’s volume is especially welcome and important, preserving the wonderful elegant voice of John Kenneth Galbraith: economist, public intellectual,  diplomat, and Harvard professor. After reading this book, all readers will learn, laugh, and emerge more educated." 

-- Henry Rosovsky, Harvard University

Kenneth Galbraith’s remarkable life is mirrored in these letters. Witty, always thoughtful, wise, they reflect a humaneness  from which our harried age will benefit." — Henry A. Kissinger, former Secretary of State

John Kenneth Galbraith prided himself on the quality of his writings and that is apparent in the precision and wit of these  letters. Even more than in his published writings, he used irony and humor to skewer the conventional wisdom. What is  also striking is the quality of the advice he gave his correspondents — both the powerful and the obscure — and how seldom he was wrong. John Kenneth Galbraith will be remembered for his intellectual and diplomatic achievements but these letters also record extraordinary friendships. — Ambassador Peter W. Galbraith

John Kenneth Galbraith occupied a unique place in American economics: a scholar, a policy advocate, a public official, and a popular author on both the printed page and the television screen. We admired each other and were good friends while both at Harvard. The letters now published reveal the sharp intellect and precision of wording in nailing 

down personal, political, and economic presentations and exposing cant and imprecision. — Kenneth J. Arrow, Professor of Economics, Stanford University, and winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics

 Economist, public intellectual, adviser to presidents, ambassador to India, liberal activist, Harvard professor, keen observer of politics, John Kenneth Galbraith led a grand and important life. It is fully captured in Ric Holt's superb collection. Herein lie the ideas, passions and recollections of a brilliant man in letters that capture some of the most 

compelling events and personalities of the twentieth century. — Ellen Fitzpatrick, Professor at the University of New hampshire, and author of Letters to Jackie: Remembering President Kennedy

John Kenneth Galbraith towered over the twentieth century, literally and intellectually. He gave voice and reason to those wishing to comfort the afflicted and to responsibly afflict the comfortable. These letters give an unparalleled  glimpse into an unparalleled life. — Robert B. Reich, University of California at Berkeley

This remarkable collection reveals one of the great American liberals of the twentieth century, Ken Galbraith, to be a witty, elegant, and wise correspondent with some of his era’s most fascinating figures – presidents, politicians, intellectuals, movie stars, and journalists. Galbraith was a brilliant, sometimes playfully irreverent observer, one always committed to his deeply held ideals – a vital participant in the great political and cultural arguments and events of his time." — Katrina van den Heuvel, Editor and publisher, The Nation

John Kenneth Galbraith’s published writing was among the wittiest and best informed ever printed. Happily, his private letters are just as pleasurable and edifying to read. How fortunate that his generation corresponded regularly, and preserved what they wrote. Students of Galbraith and of modern history will appreciate t

his splendid sample. — Robert Kuttner, Co-Editor, The American Prospect

This book is sprinkled with excellent answers to many of the economic and political problems that are often still faced today. On reading this book, I wondered where is the John Kenneth Galbraith equivalent today who will provide  presidents and legislators, as well as our economic colleagues with the advice necessary to make the American 

economy deliver the prosperity to all its residents that it is capable of providing. — Paul Davidson, Review of  Keynesian Economics.

Richard P.F. Holt’s monumental work to dig up and give chronological consistency to John Kenneth Galbraith’s  correspondence is a success. This is notably because, on one hand, the book provides a vast majority of unpublished documents and, on the other, addresses a wide range of readers. Furthermore, Holt’s numerous comments, serving to

 put letters into their context, are synthetic and enlightening.” — Alexandre Chirat, Journal of Economic Issues

A Brighter Future: Improving the Standard of Living Now and for the Next Generation with Daphne T. Greenwood, Routledge Press, 2014.

In this pathbreaking volume, Ric Holt and Daphne Greenwood have enlisted an extremely talented group of scholars to share their thinking about how we might turn things around. Readers who study the papers will come away with a renewed sense of optimism. Collectively, their authors make a compelling case that we can well afford what needs to be done … Read this volume carefully, and be stimulated to launch some intelligent discussion of your own. From there, what happens is anyone’s guess. — Robert H. Frank, Henrietta Louis Professor of Management and Professor of Economics, Cornell University

This eminently readable (and frankly, must-read) volume tackles head-on the next--and essential--challenge in the rising Piketty-inspired debate about our future. It asks not What Has Happened and How but What Is to Be Done, How and Why? Highly recommended. — Richard Parker, Kennedy School, Harvard University

A Brighter Future: Improving the Standard of Living Now and for the Next Generation is a remarkable work that sets a high standard for public policy debate and performance that is relevant for us now and into the foreseeable future. I highly recommend it for researchers and teachers/students of social and economic policy, macroeconomics and ecological economics; as well as for general readers interested in solutions to some of the most pressing problems of the twenty-first century. — Phillip Anthony O’Hara, Director of the Global Political Economy Research Unit; and Past-President of the Association for Evolutionary Economics

Holt and Greenwood’s volume is an excellent introduction to alternative ways of thinking about defining and improving the standard of living. The book serves as a fine and noteworthy contribution to the debate on how best to improve the standard of living within the United States. — Christopher A. Wheeler, Rutgers University, Journal of Planning and Research.

It will are interested in understanding and solving many of this century's local economic development challenges in the US. Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduate through professional collections. -- Choice

Thoughtful new insights about what is needed to reshape economic development for 21st century priorities and challenges. -- Richard Lamm, University of Denver and former governor of Colorado

Local Economic Development in the 21st Century is a well-written and extremely useful and insightful book on the pros and cons of local economic development. It raises important issues on the relationship between traditional economic growth on the one hand and the quality of life and sustainable development on the other hand. Though the policy implications are about the best way of 'acting locally,' the book has important implications for policy makers and public officials on the national level as well. -- Edward Wolff, New York University

A very readable book for non-economists... it makes a compelling case for the natural compatibility of quality of life factors and sustainable economic development. It illustrates not only why traditional business incentives are not cost-effective but also suggests what to do in place of them. In particular, the authors call for entrepreneurship and education while emphasizing the tight interconnections among economy, environment, and society. This is the future of economic development. -- Chris Gibbons, Director of Business/Industry Affairs

This book should be a must-read for all economic developers and civic leaders, as well as for students of the social sciences. -- Abby Shenbaum Train, New Mexico State University

Having these ideas in the eyes, ears and minds of federal officeholders, as well as engaged citizens at all levels, would help us create the kind of communities in which we all wish to live. -- Reynold F. Nesiba, Augustana College

This book is an excellent treatment of the issues facing society in the twenty-first century. It is an important contribution to our knowledge of planning scholarship. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the future of our society, students and civil servants alike. -- Zoltan J. Acs, George Mason University

European Economics at a Crossroads, with Barkley Rosser, Jr. and David Colander, Edward Elgar, 2010.

It is hard not to love the authors of this volume. They are serious and critical, taking time out of their own research to "stir up the pot" of alternatives to neoclassical economics. -- Herb Gintis, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

Post Keynesian and Ecological Economics: Confronting Environmental Issues (edited volume) Edward Elgar Publishing, Aldershot, U.K, 2009.

... a book that will undoubtedly become a major resource for anyone calling to action the heterodox community to pull together a coherent perspective on environmental and sustainability issues...This book is the first to address this enormous lacuna in heterodox economics. Ecological and post-Keynesian economists will consider it as a companion guide for the study of production and consumption dynamics. Other heterodox economists involved in the study of economy-environment relationships must consider it as an example to follow.” -- Ali Dousai, University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, France

Empirical Post Keynesian Economics: Looking at the Real World with Steven Pressman, (edited volume) Routledge Press, 2006.

This exciting collection of essays is an impressive beginning to the realization of Alfred Eichner’s vision of completing the Post Keynesian paradigm by mounting a research program to provide empirical support for its theoretical conclusions and policy recommendations…In furthering the “third stage” of the Post Keynesian paradigm, the essays in this collection will enable heterodox economic thinkers of all persuasions to introduce new leading-edge research into the classroom.-- Ingrid H. Rima, Temple University

In sum, Empirical Post Keynesian Economics is a crucial step in the economics profession and gives new thunder to an alternative paradigm.” -- Ian Strachan, Colorado State University

The Changing Face of Economics: Conversations with Cutting Edge Economists, with David C. Colander and J. Barkley Rosser, Jr., University of Michigan Press, 2004.

… the essays overall are of high quality . . . a stimulating, timely, and disquieting collection. -- G.C. Harcourt, The Economic Journal

This is a fine collection ... These are good, thought-provoking essays, much more than the personal biographies one might expect in a book about economists. I learned from these essays and recommend the book without reservation. -- William S. Brown, Review of Political Economy
