Prosperity:
Better Business Makes the Greater Good
Reviewer: Richard Bronk, https://imaginationineconomics.com/
What is business for? Day one of a business course will tell you: it is to maximise shareholder profit.

It has had disastrous and damaging consequences for our economies, environment, politics, and societies.
This Sovereign Isle
Britain In and Out of Europe
Reviewer: Kevin Gardiner, Rothschild & Co/Cardiff Capital Region Economic Growth Partners
In this succinct book, Tombs shows that the decision to leave the EU is historically explicable - though not made historically inevitable - by Britain's very different historical experience, especially in the twentieth century, and because of our more extensive and deeper ties outside Europe.

Capital Wars

Reviewer: Melissa Davies, Redburn
Global Liquidity is a much-discussed, but narrowly-researched and vaguely-defined topic. This book deeply explores the subject by clearly defining and measuring liquidity worldwide and by showing its importance for investors.
Angrynomics
Reviewer: Ian Bright
In Angrynomics, Mark Blyth and Eric Lonergan explore the rising tide of anger, sometimes righteous and useful, sometimes destructive and ill-targeted, and propose radical new solutions for an increasingly polarized and confusing world.
Outside The Box
Reviewer: Ian Harwood
From the acclaimed author of The Box, a new history of globalization that shows us how to navigate its future.
The Great Demographic Reversal
Reviewer: Dame Kate Barker, British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme
This book demonstrates how these demographic trends are on the point of reversing sharply, coinciding with a retreat from globalisation. The result? Ageing can be expected to raise inflation and interest rates, bringing a slew of problems for an over-indebted world economy, but is also anticipated to increase the share of labour, so that inequality falls.
The Cost of Free Money
Reviewer: Vicky Pryce
A penetrating account of how unchecked capital mobility is damaging international cooperation, polarizing the economic landscape, and ultimately reshaping the global order.
