1954-1984. Three typed letters signed and four typed notes signed by Galbraith, spanning three decades and predominantly concerned with his books American Capitalism, Economics and the Public Purpose, Money, and The Anatomy of Power. The first letter, from 1954, agrees in principle to a German translation of American Capitalism and weighs the benefits of an updated edition. Subsequent internal memos reveal that Galbraith was unhappy with the terms negotiated for the German rights. In a 1969 note, Galbraith submits praise for Irving Bernstein's book [The Turbulent Years]. In a 1980 letter, Galbraith makes the case that his book Economics and the Public Purpose has attained standing equal to The Anatomy of Power and The New Industrial State. In 1983, he is arguing for a new edition of The Triumph. Also in 1983, a typed note signed by Katharine Graham of The Washington Post gratefully acknowledges receipt of a copy of The Anatomy of Power. In the final letter here, Galbraith suggests that the educational market for Anatomy of Power be explored. There are also five internal memos and retained letters providing a small amount of context. Apart from some publisher's notations, the lot is fine. [#036699] $750
