John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes:
Ocupation: Economist
Life: October 15, 1908 - April 29, 2006
Birthday: October 15
Death: April 29
We live surrounded by a systematic appeal to a dream world which all mature, scientific reality would reject. We, quite literally, advertise our commitment to immaturity, mendacity and profound gullibility. It is as the hallmark of the culture. And it is justified as being economically indispensable.
