Originally published in 1958, The Affluent Society by John Kenneth Galbraith depicts how post WWII American was becoming wealthy and the social income disparities between the public and private sectors. Galbraith coined the term "Conventional Wisdom" in this book. The Affluent Society is considered by many as one of the greatest non-fiction books of the 20th Century and must read for any economics study.

John Kenneth Galbraith, born in 1908, was Harvard economics professor who wrote dozens of books on economics and was known for post-Keynesian economics and liberal ideas.
