Looks and sounds to me like James Galbraith's dad: the late John Kenneth Galbraith.

was so impressed, I went and bought the book (still have it!) Never could find the program on videotape (it predated VCRs, I'm pretty sure...) So this is great to find!
My favorite line from the program was Mr. Galbraith saying, "Liberals often do the right thing for the wrong reason. Conservatives do the wrong thing for no reason at all."
