Description
We live in an anxious era of malaise and confusion: inflation gallops on, interest rates are unpredictable, unemployment rises, money turns to paper and we feel things are skidding out of control.Now Adam Smith, with the unique combination of literary and financial talent that has won him an international readership, has written a book which explains how it all happened and what happens next. With wit and intelligence Smith describes how property values, OPEC, oil prices, the energy crisis, the stock market-the financial world as a whole-tie-in with inflation and the chilling vision of the 'wheel barrow full of money'.'Clear, succinct and consistently engaging. Quite simply the best exposition of the subject available to the general reader.'TIME ISBN:0708821634
