"[A] charming memoir [that] serves to remind us that idealism and trust once existed in the White House and Washington, a fact that may seem unbelievable" (Newsday).
A New York Times Notable Book
"Names? You want names? No one knows better ones than John Kenneth Galbraith," says the San Diego Union-Tribune. Name-Dropping covers the long and remarkable career of this economist and former ambassador, charting sixty-five years of politics, government, and American history as he writes of the many people he has known—among them Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Adlai Stevenson, and Jawaharlal Nehru—"with a wit, style, and elegance few can match" (Library Journal).
This "mischievously and merrily unrepentant" memoir offers a rich and uniquely personal history of the twentieth century—a history the author himself helped to shape (The Boston Globe).
"Shrewd, irreverent, penetrating, and hilarious." —Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
"It is not usual for a man past his 90th birthday to write a book that is as fresh and lively as the work of a 30-year-old. But John Kenneth Galbraith is not a usual man, and he has done it." —The New York Times
