'One of the best new books on economics' - Financial Times 'This book is a tour de force' - David Miles, Professor of Financial Economics at Imperial College Why the Trump tax is a disaster for the US and the world - from award-winning journalist Philip Coggan Economic policy set at the whim of one man. Tariffs up one day and down the next. Businesses bewildered, consumers alarmed. As Donald Trump wages his trade war, what will become of a global economy dependent on close trading links? Leading financial journalist Philip Coggan lifts the lid on Trump's economic gamble, why it's a universal threat and how we can make sense of this new 'age of chaos'. This is his clear-sighted and powerful rallying cry in defence of global trade - and why it matters for the world.

One of the best new books on economics * Financial Times *
Coggan's analysis is sharp, accessible and free from polemic - grounded in facts and, most importantly, good old economic common sense -- Tej Parikh * FT *
This is brilliant synoptic analysis * Morning Herald *
The book is a tour de force. The arguments are very clearly and succinctly put in a way that should convince anyone of the madness of the tariff policy -- David Miles, Professor of Financial Economics at Imperial College
Donald Trump and I both took economics degrees in the 1960s. This book describes the history which I learnt and Donald Trump has forgotten - or never understood. Philip Coggan's masterly exposition is easy to understand and (almost) impossible to forget -- John Kay, author of The Corporation in the Twenty-First Century
The Keynes of our age -- Patrick Maguire * The Times *
Short but insightful * Literary Review *
Coggan is unrepentant in his withering critique of policies rooted in 1980s opposition to free trade and a refusal to admit being wrong... it is a reminder that history is still a valuable judge of past decisions and that their consequences are not immediately apparent * NBR *
Rather delightful * Financial Express *
Coggan goes to the heart of the problem * The New World *
In this short sharp blast Philip Coggan very effectively demolishes Donald Trump's tariff policies * The Society of Professional Economists *
It's easy to get caught up in the problems of the present; it can be refreshing to revisit the bigger picture: what decisions have what consequences, and why. This book is a great place to start for anyone wanting to form more educated opinions on current policy and economic issues * New Zealand Institute for Economic Research *
His books...are among the best explainers for how neoliberalism has created the world around us -- George McDonagh * Disorder Podcast *
Praise for More -- :
Coggan is one of the best financial journalists of his generation -- James Kirkup * The Times *
A real pleasure...Coggan tells the story with both narrative verve and acute observation -- Diana Coyle * The Economist *
