THE END OF NORMAL The Great Crisis and the Future of Growth

Galbraith challenges the assumption that continual economic growth is "normal" and points to the 1970s as the end of the period of consistent growth. Narrator L.J. Ganser presents the arguments in a clear, straightforward manner. His deep voice is easy to listen to, and his professional tone provides a scholarly feel to the discussion. While Ganser doesn't provide much differentiation in his reading--as the text is mainly a narrative--he clearly enunciates each word and uses pauses at the ends of sentences to break up the narration. Galbraith's text covers a lot of ground, including economics, business, and politics, and Ganser navigates the terminology with ease, creating a cohesive narration.
