Stratospherically authoritative.
*Independent*
Should be read by everyone concerned with preventing the next
crisis... barely a page goes by without an acute observation or
pithy aphorism.
*Economist*
Kay is both a first-class economist and an excellent writer.
*Financial Times*
Mr Kay is a brilliant writer.
*Wall Street Journal*
An admirable debunker of myths and false beliefs - Kay can see
substantial things others don't.
*Nassim N Taleb, author of The Black Swan*
Quite brilliant ... about as good a demonstration of Kay's skills
(as economist, thinker and writer) as you are likely to find.
*Prospect magazine*
John Kay is one of the most engaging and accessible writers on
economics in Britain today
*Morning Star*
