This biting satire of academia and high finance by the Harvard economist "is ingenious and humorous even as it chills and cuts close to the bone" (The New York Times).
John Kenneth Galbraith served in the Kennedy administration before becoming one of the twentieth century's foremost economists and public intellectuals. In A Tenured Professor, he spins his wealth of knowledge—and knowledge of wealth—into a delightfully comical morality tale.
Montgomery Martin, a Harvard economics professor, creates a stock forecasting model which makes it possible for him to uncover society's hidden agendas. Seeking proof that human folly has no limit when motivated by greed, Martin sets off a mass hysteria that causes investors to believe—despite the lessons of history and physics—that up is the only direction.
