One of the best new books on economics
Financial Times
Coggan's analysis is sharp, accessible and free from polemic - grounded in facts and, most importantly, good old economic common sense
- Tej Parikh, FT
This is brilliant synoptic analysis
Morning Herald
The book is a tour de force. The arguments are very clearly and succinctly put in a way that should convince anyone of the madness of the tariff policy
- David Miles, Professor of Financial Economics at Imperial College,
Donald Trump and I both took economics degrees in the 1960s. This book describes the history which I learnt and Donald Trump has forgotten - or never understood. Philip Coggan's masterly exposition is easy to understand and (almost) impossible to forget
- John Kay, author of The Corporation in the Twenty-First Century,
The Keynes of our age
- Patrick Maguire, The Times
Short but insightful
Literary Review
Coggan is unrepentant in his withering critique of policies rooted in 1980s opposition to free trade and a refusal to admit being wrong... it is a reminder that history is still a valuable judge of past decisions and that their consequences are not immediately apparent
NBR
Rather delightful
Financial Express
Coggan goes to the heart of the problem
The New World
In this short sharp blast Philip Coggan very effectively demolishes Donald Trump's tariff policies
The Society of Professional Economists
It's easy to get caught up in the problems of the present; it can be refreshing to revisit the bigger picture: what decisions have what consequences, and why. This book is a great place to start for anyone wanting to form more educated opinions on current policy and economic issues
