520			_aIn his preface the author describes John Kenneth Galbraith and the Lower Economics as a friendly polemical dis cussion of some disputed questions of political economy. The discussion concentrates on Gal braith's principal. theories, including countervailing power, social balance and the mature corporation. Galbraith's work contains the elements of a revolution in economic science. He reintroduces power and politics into economics in order to make it relevant to the latter half of the twentieth century. This book attempts to determine whether Galbraith succeeds in overturning conventional doctrine. The "lower economics" of the title is a slightly wry reference to the non mathematical, institutional mode of anal ysis preferred by Galbraith. Contents include the following chapters: A Revolution in Economics? American Capitalism; The Affluent Society; and the New Industrial State.
