Lateral thinking at its very best-a must-read. -Will Hutton, author of The State We're In Well-informed, trenchant. -Richard N. Cooper, Foreign Affairs Intellectual history at its best. -E. Stina Lyon, Times Higher Education Fascinating. -Justin Fox, Bloomberg View Selected for Canada's Financial Post Best Personal Finance and Economics Books of 2016 Selected for Bloomberg View's The Writing that Shaped Economic Thinking in 2016
