Critical Acclaim
‘The essays are all written in a readily stimulating accessible style and the arguments are lively and stimulating. The ideas contained in the book stand as an example of the influence of free market economics in the UK and the 1980s.’
– Barry Naisbitt, Midland Bank

‘I strongly recommend these essays as an insight into an economist who was the very model of a tough-minded, radical Right, political economist.’
– David Collard, The Economic Journal
