by John Kenneth Galbraith (Author)
American Capitalism: The Concepts of Countervailing Power is a book written by John Kenneth Galbraith and published in 1952. The book is a critical analysis of the American economic system, specifically the concept of capitalism. Galbraith argues that capitalism is not a self-regulating system and that it requires countervailing power to balance the power of large corporations and prevent them from dominating the economy.Galbraith explains that countervailing power can come from various sources, such as labor unions, government regulation, and consumer organizations. He argues that without countervailing power, large corporations can use their economic power to influence politics and shape public policy to their advantage. This, in turn, can lead to inequality and economic instability.The book also explores the history of American capitalism, including the role of the government in regulating the economy and the evolution of labor unions. Galbraith argues that the American economy has always been shaped by countervailing power, and that the success of capitalism depends on the ability of countervailing power to balance the power of large corporations.Overall, American Capitalism: The Concepts of Countervailing Power is a seminal work in the field of economics and a critique of the American economic system. It continues to be relevant today as debates about the role of government regulation and the power of corporations continue to shape the American economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
