This Week's Guest
James Galbraith




  As Wall Street rose to dominate the U.S. economy, income and pay 
inequalities in America came to dance to the tune of the credit cycle. 
As the reach of financial markets extended across the globe, interest 
rates, debt, and debt crises became the dominant forces driving the rise
 of economic inequality almost everywhere. 

Author James Galbraith, in his new book, Inequality and Instability: A Study of the World Economy Just Before the Great Crisis, challenges the standard economic notions on both the right and the left. Providing rigorous, historic evidence, Galbraith "demonstrates that finance is the driveshaft that links inequality to economic instability."

 
  






James K. Galbraith is professor at
 the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, the University of Texas
 at Austin, where he holds the Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair in 
Government/Business Relations. He is a leading economist whose books 
include The Predator State, Inequality and Industrial Change, and Created Unequal.
