The Truth About Markets by John Kay
We live, now more than ever before, in a world made of markets. How do they work? Why do they work? Why are they better than alternative systems of organizing economics? And why, sometimes, do they fail so catastrophically? This accessible book explains the big questions of contemporary economics. John Kay uses storytelling to show that markets cannot be detached from the societies in which they are based.
John Kay is one of Britain's leading economists. He was the first (controversial) head of the Oxford Said Business School, and for many years headed Europe's largest private firm providing economic advice to companies and governments. The ECONOMIST says "Kay is well on the way to turning himself into the European Michael Porter". He has also been described as "the best management theorist in Britain". He has a regular column in the FINANCIAL TIMES.
