THE REITH LECTURES 1966

on BBC Home Service Basic

The New Industrial State by John Kenneth Galbraith
Professor of Economics at Harvard University
6: The Cultural Impact
' It is through the state that society must assert the superior claims of aesthetic over economic goals and of environment over cost. It Is to the state we must look ... for a balance between liberal education and the technical training that serves the industrial system..... If the state is to serve these ends, the scientific and educational estate and the larger intellectual community must be aware of their power and their opportunity and their obligation to use both.'
Repeated: Monday, 7.30 (Third)
