The United States is no longer a free-enterprise society, Galbraith argues, but a structured state controlled by the largest companies. Advertising is the means by which these companies manage demand and create consumer \"need\" where none previously existed. Multinational corporations are the continuation of this power system on an international level. The goal of these companies is not the betterment of society, but immortality through an uninterrupted stream of earnings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e First published in 1967, \u003ci\u003eThe New Industrial State\u003c\/i\u003e continues to resonate today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Kenneth Galbraith\u003c\/b\u003e (1908-2006) was an eminent economist, the author of thirty-one books, and a member of four U.S. presidential administrations.
