The Age of Uncertainty

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A personal view by John Kenneth Galbraith of the rise and crisis of Industrial Society
1: The Prophets and Promise of Classical Capitalism
In the first of 13 programmes PROFESSOR GALBRAITH tells the story of the men who laid the foundations of economics: the quizzical Scot, Adam Smith ; the successful stockbroker, David Ricardo ; and the pessimistic clergyman, Thomas Malthus. What they made of the world of their time profoundly affects our world.
