    JK Galbraith RIP

    John Kenneth Galbraith died on the 29th April, he would be rembered by most here as setting up the first Computer Science Department at a university in India.

      I would have thought

      most here would remember him for his book "The Great Crash: 1929" - well at least that's what I remember him for.

      Cracking read btw, the situation then seems oddly familiar today.

        I remember reading and enjoying "Age of Uncertainty" but have never heard of the 1929 book, I'll have to check it out sometime.

          not exactly - but every postman, hairdresser, taxi driver, etc. knows that you can make a killing buying and selling property :-)
