If you're a fan of Professor John Kenneth Galbraith you'll definitely want to get your hands on a copy of this. It tends to stray away from technicality, as he tends to, and focus on getting the message across. This book is in an interview format, and is hence even easier to read. It is exactly what is says, and is very good for an introduction to neo-classical economics, and Galbraith's view of the status-quo trends.
