Reviews
Paul Wallace has written an exceptionally clear-eyed account of the malaise that afflicts the UK economy. He explains how the usual culprits-excesses in the City, stark regional inequality, false promises on Brexit-have dovetailed with deeper structural neglect to leave the British economy operating at a fraction of its potential. There is a way out-but it will require politicians to put aside short-term expedients and invest in the country's future. This is a must-read analysis

A rare book on economics that is actually written in English. Trenchant, clear and comes complete with solutions. Essential reading
