"An important but accessible read that tackles the big questions that continue to perplex society – namely what makes an economy ‘good’ and who is it really ‘good’ for?"
Dr. Amy Edwards, Senior Lecturer in History, University of Bristol. 4/4

"The state of affairs that economists so often justify is producing gigantic inequalities...In this beautiful little book, Grocott punctures the old stories and encourages the birth of new ones. This is essential reading." Prof. Martin Parker, University of Bristol Business School. 3/4

"You might ask yourself, how did we get here: broken public services, polluted rivers and the return of rickets? Grocott provides a crucial part of the answer, deftly recounting the history of the ideas that have come to drive policy...and dominate thinking." Dr. David Harvie. 2/4
