Name-dropping : From F.D.R. On

  • Name-dropping : From F.D.R. On
  • Attribution

    John Kenneth Galbraith
  • Publication Details

    Book, Houghton Mifflin Co, 1999
  • Description

    John Kenneth Galbraith, the noted economist, joined Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal in 1934 and served that administration during World War II in the crucial role of deputy head of the Office of Price Administration in charge of price control. In this clear-eyed, unsparing, and amusing look back at the world and the people he has known, Galbraith tells what these leaders did — how they looked to him then and how they look to him now — with unforgettable reminiscences and a rich infusion of engaging anecdotes. Kennedy’s preference for plain talk did not spare his friends. “I don’t know why not,” said Kennedy. Nehru said that one day at Gandhi’s ashram in Ahmedabad a friend and supporter sought to ease a conflict with the British Viceroy by saying, “Mahatma, you must know that Lord Irwin never makes a decision without praying over it first.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
