Summary: Keynesian economist J K Galbraith explores the power large corporations could have over the State in the fourth lecture in his Reith Lectures series 'The New Industrial State'. He argues that the state and private industry are moving closer together and warns there is a danger that the state could become too involved with industry, and consequently policies could be influenced by these corporations. Professor Galbraith looks at what the state should be providing for its citizens.
