Galbraith discussing the economic crisis and why economists did not understand what was at stake or warn us to modify our troubled economic structures in time to avoid the crisis itself.<br><br>What impact does economic theory have on our individual well-being? Why didn’t current theory predict the economic melt-down? How could the public–from investors to employees to retirees—have been better served?<br><br>James K. Galbraith is the Lloyd M. Bentsen Chair in Government/Business Relations and Professor of Government at the University of Texas, Austin. He directs the University of Texas Inequality Project, an informal research group based at the LBJ School. His writing ranges from monetary policy to the economics of warfare, with forays into politics and history. His most recent book, Predator State: How Conservatives Abandoned the Free Market and Why Liberals Should Too, will be available for sale and signing after the talk.<br><br>Cambridge Forum is recorded and edited for public radio broadcast.
