Review:

They start to make the case with a quick, and exceedingly engaging, tour of economic history... the book does a good job of showing the limitations of narrow economic theory, since markets rarely feature rational people with perfect knowledge. -- Gillian Tett, Financial Times All of the economics covered in this delightful book is described clearly and with a lovely lightness of touch. * The Enlightened Economist *
