Editorial Reviews

Review
Great fun … brash, stubborn, entertaining, opinionated, curious, cajoling (Freakonomics )

An idiosyncratically brilliant new book (Sunday Telegraph )

A fascinating study of how we are regularly taken for suckers by the unexpected (Guardian )

Like the conversation of a raconteur ... hugely enjoyable - compelling (Financial Times )

Confirms his status as a guru for every would-be Damien Hirst, George Soros and aspirant despot (Sunday Times )

In the tradition of The Wisdom of Crowds and The Tipping Point (Time )

John Kay, Financial Times
`Hugely enjoyable - compelling'

Niall Ferguson, Sunday Telegraph
`Idiosyncratically brilliant'
