MASTERS OF NOTHING
Matthew Hancock and Nadhim Zahawi
This book is about how people behave.
Not how we think we behave, or how we’d like to behave, but how we really do.
It is a story of how a failure to understand human nature helped cause one of the biggest crises in the history of capitalism. Of the extraordinary extremes we witnessed from the so-called Masters of the Universe – their greed, recklessness and irrationality. Of how that failure led to policy mistakes that magnified the crisis. And of how the crisis will happen again unless we get to grips with it.

LET THEM EAT CARBON
Matthew Sinclair
Ordinary people are paying a ruinous price for the attempts politicians make to control greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change policies dramatically raise electricity bills; make it much more expensive to drive to work or fly on holiday; put manufacturing workers out of a job and sometimes even make your food more expensive.
