Reviews:
"'John Kay is an admirable debunker of myths and false beliefs - he can see substantial things others don't. Read this book.' - Nassim N Taleb, author of The Black Swan
'Economics with style as well as substance' - Stephen Bayley, Observer architecture and design correspondent
'Obliquity is a characteristic John Kay production. It is a pleasure to read' - Howard Davies, Financial Times
'How rare is it for an academic economist to write with such clarity, intelligence and courage. And, in these troubled, confusing times, how desperately we need other dismal scientists to follow John Kay's shining example.' - Liam Halligan, Spectator Business"
