Oh, I imagine he did. But what do you want, a Harvard economist who also lays bricks?  If you want to look at people who control your life but don't have any interest in your problems, look no farther than Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell or John Roberts.  Or, for that matter, the CEO of any large corporation.  The important thing here is that Galbraith, like Robert Reich and Paul Krugman, was concerned that we have an economy that gives a fair deal to the working family.

Here are a couple more Galbraith quotes:
"Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof."

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."
