Media Reviews
'Superb! Diane Coyle has catalysed what is long overdue: candid self-questioning by economists of a discipline that did not anticipate the crisis and has barely changed since despite its self-evident shortcomings. Some spectacularly good reads. Economics can't stay the same after this book.' - Will Hutton, Principal of Hertford College Oxford, Observer columnist and chair The Big Innovation Centre 'With outstanding essays from the likes of Andy Haldane, John Kay and Andrew Lo, this book should be read by anyone interested - or anxious - about what economists do and how economics is taught.' - Tim Harford, author of "The Undercover Economist" and "Adapt" 'This volume will set the agenda for the debate of the next decade by economists and policy makers trying to avoid another financial crisis. The self-critical chapters by top-tier economists and hands-on practitioners provide fascinating insights into what went wrong and how the economics profession should set about to reform itself.' - Dr DeAnne Julius CBE, Chairman of Chatham House and former member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee
