John Kenneth Galbraith took his homegrown knowledge of economics and liberal society to the United States in the 1930s, to join Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Galbraith brought a "Canadian sensibility" to his work there, but his political career was dashed with the assassination of his friend John F. Kennedy. His criticism of the U.S. Right gained steam under Nixon, and now, at 95, Galbraith is still on the attack, against a Bush government whose prospects, he says, "are dismal."
