ISBN: 9780199686506 出版年：2014 页码：225 Berry, Mike Oxford University Press

John Kenneth Galbraith agreed with the Keynesian view that one day society would be in a financial position where we could work fewer hours, devote more time to leisure and where inequality would diminish. That was a view from the 1950s when he wrote his influential work "The Affluent Society." Urban Studies Scholar Mike Berry revisits Galbraith's work in a post-global financial crisis economy where inequality is increasing. Guests Mike Berry: Professor of Urban Studies and Public Policy at RMIT University and Foundation Executive Director of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute.
