He wrote a whole bunch of books, I read excerpts from them in college in some of my economics classes.
His politics were liberal, Galbraith was a very early opponent of the Vietnam War.
However, politics aside, he was a very close friend of William F. Buckley.
Buckley wrote about his friendship with Galbraith in his "literal autobiography," Miles Gone By:
He consistently writes pleasant tributes to my own books, inevitably advising the reader that my political opinions should be ignored, my fiction or accounts of life at sea appreciated.
