It does not exist. J.K. Galbraith did not dream of the conditions that exist in today's world when he penned that interesting volume. It is about centralization, economies of scale and regimentation of behavior and it informs modern liberalism to an unfortunate degree.
Today we are global, flexible and empowering of the individual. We are, in dialectical terms, in pursuit of the antithesis to the thesis stated by Galbraith. The world we live in today is a dynamic synthesis of those two exclusional conceptual frames of the nature of existence.
J.M. here. Basil has the day off, drinking his espresso, listening to Corelli and generally doing his impression of a carrot or some similiar vegetable. When writers shut down their conscious mind, they really shut it down. Creativity is so much an unconscious process that to write requires retreat. It is a solitary and anxious profession. Writers are, by nature, postmodernists. They do not appreciate regimentation. Basil likes the new synthesis.
It goes well with the world.
Do well and be well.
