False Economy
14th April 2009
Details of a new book by the International Editor of the Financial Times Alan Beattie
“The path to prosperity is rarely obvious and the sources of success are often unexpected. Time and again, world leaders have failed to learn the lessons of economic history, and their mistakes continue to have surprising and catastrophic consequences. In False Economy, Alan Beattie uses extraordinary stories of economic triumph and disaster to explain how some countries went wrong while others went right, and why it’s so difficult to change course once you’re on the path to ruin.”
