I thought it was a pretty simple question to ask you which
economists have stated that Galbraith is "discredited."

One does not generally speak unkindly of the dead, but here's an excerpt
from his obit in The Economist:

"Mr Galbraith was thus less an economist than a mixture of sociologist,
political scientist and journalist."

This, coming from a political blog-on-paper, is really not
all that unkind.




" ... Long after Mr Galbraith's brand of big-government liberalism fell out of
favour, he remained its standard-bearer."

Fell out of favor with whom?

In other words, among *economists* Galbraith is not dicredited.

Among politically oriented bigots, his political ideas have
"fallen out of favor." That's a very far cry from being
discredited. But this is a pretty close approximation of the
answer I expected. Thank you.

Furthermore, you haven't addressed *any* of Glabraith's
central economic theories... among which is that advertising
drives demand for common consumer goods... an idea you
clearly believe yourself. Discredited? A laugh!

In truth, I'm more interested in why Frank B apparently
doesn't believe it.
