The respected former business secretary talks us through the 16 World Leaders Who Changed Economics.
Through
economics, our politicians have the power to transform people's lives for
better or worse. Think Deng Xiaoping who lifted millions out of poverty by
opening up China; Franklin D Roosevelt whose 'New Deal' helped the USA break
free of the Great Depression. Or Peron and his successors in Argentina who
brought the country to the brink of ruin.
In this
magisterial history, economist and politician Vince Cable examines the legacy
of 16 world leaders who transformed their countries' economic fortunes and who
also challenged economic convention. From Thatcher to Trump, from Lenin to
Bismarck, Money and Power provides a whole new perspective on
the science of government. Examining the fascinating interplay of economics and
politics, this is a compelling journey through some of the most significant
people and events of the last 300 years.
