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

Se alle

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

New Zealand Institute for Economic Research

His books...are among the best explainers for how neoliberalism has created the world around us

- George McDonagh, Disorder Podcast
