What’s Wrong with Economics – a Primer for the Perplexed

Book Review: Author: Robert Skidelsky
Everyone likely to read this review is an economist, indeed a professional economist. So, do
we want to know the answer to the question in the title?

Greed is Dead, Politics after Individualism

Book Review: Authors: Paul Collier and John Kay
This is billed as a book about politics, but it is written by two economists with careers in both
academe and business, so it should be important to all professional economists.

Bank competition – Press ‘account’ for control

Bridget Rosewell argues that bank customers want to feel that their preferences matter
and to have the right information to make their own choices

Computational modelling: Blackett review

This report sets out the findings of a review looking at the rapid evolution of UK computational modelling capability, and how it could be better used in both the public and private sectors.

After the Flood – How the Great Recession Changed Economic Thought

Book Review: Authors: E Glaser, T Santos, E G Weyl (eds)
This book is not what I expected, since it is not really about economic thought, but rather a
collection focused on a variety of reflections on economic issues and is in effect a Festschrift
for Jose Scheinkman.

Book Review: Authors: Pat Hudson and Keith Tribe (eds)
This volume of essays starts from the premise that Piketty’s Capital in the 21st Century is a
wonderful book, challenging both theory and measurement.
