“Because Professor Kay is one of the leading British economists of his generation, his voyage of discovery takes him into a crash course in economics. Here is a man who can explain Pareto efficiency in words that most of us can understand. He gives answers to those puzzling questions that nag the non-specialist.”
“…he skewers the pretensions of the finance sector and questions whether its high rewards reflect its true economic contribution.”
“Kay is no populist. He will be known to Irish Times readers as an astute columnist and commentator on economic policy issues. He is also an influential economic policy adviser with impressive academic credentials, which he wears very lightly.”
