JK Galbraith returns to the fray with The Economics of Innocent Fraud.

The Economics of Innocent Fraud: Truth for Our Time
by JK Galbraith
78pp, Allen Lane, £10
It is some time since we have heard from JK Galbraith, which is not
entirely surprising. At 95 he may be excused some gaps in what has,
for 75 years, been a regular flow of stimulating political and
economic writing.
The general assumption, I think, was that he had finally retired from
the fray. The Economics of Innocent Fraud shows that is far from the
case. He has re-emerged with a pungent, if short, essay on economics,
corporate politics and the terminology of public discourse.
