Editorial Reviews

Review

A book I cannot recommend highly enough. William Keegan, The Observer (Business & Media) A fascinating book ... a fitting epitaph. David Smith. The Sunday Times Because it tackles one of the most important issues facing policy-makers, the book will reach a wider audience than that received by the usual economic tome. It deserves to. The interesting thing about the Dow book is that it deals with the crucial issue of whether the downward swing of the cycle develops into a serious recession. Hamish McRae. The Independent
