Samenvatting:

"Names? You want names? No one knows better ones than John Kenneth Galbraith" (San Diego Union-Tribune). With the dazzling insight, humor, and literary skill that mark Galbraith as one of the most distinguished writers of our time, Name-Dropping charts the political landscape of the past sixty-five years. Drawing on a lifetime of access to many great public figures, the famous economist offers a clear-eyed, unsparing, and amusing “look at prominent people . . . [he] has known, from FDR on" (Larry King, USA Today) and offers a rich and uniquely personal history of the century — a history he helped to shape.
