John Kenneth Galbraith died on Saturday. The New York Times has a nice obituary up, ending thusly:

He remained optimistic about the ability of government to improve the lot of the less fortunate. "Let there be a coalition of the concerned," he urged. "The affluent would still be affluent, the comfortable still comfortable, but the poor would be part of the political system."
