by Galbraith, John Kenneth
- Used
- Fine
- Paperback
John Kenneth Galbraith's third novel, A Tenured Professor, is at once an intriguing tale of morality and a comic delight. Montgomery Martin, a Harvard economics professor, creates a stock forecasting model, which makes it possible for him to uncover society's hidden agendas. Seeking proof that human folly has no limit when motivated by greed, Martin initiates mass hysteria that causes investors to assume that up is the only direction. Hailed as "Galbraith's wisest and wittiest" novel (New York Times), A Tenured Professor is an impudently satirical tale.

First line
HARVARD YARD, the ancient center of college and university instruction, is an enclosure of a bit more than twenty acres in extent that is now the site only of libraries, a few classrooms, the handsome administration building, a number of dormitories for the entering class, a church and the stretch of greensward on which the annual commencement ceremonies are held.
