Naturally, a polemic from a left of centre politician who was once prime minister is always going to be of interest to me. This is a wide-ranging discussion on multiple subjects. It combines economic theory, with sociological movements, social media analysis, green environmentalism, the upcoming diplomatic struggles, with regards to the restraint and collection of nuclear weapons, and non-Dom, tax havens. The seven ways to change the world are sensible, pragmatic, and hopeful. At times, Dr browns PhD in economics really does shine through and that’s what for me, dropped it slightly down the rankings. Otherwise this is a precedent and thoughtful book with an eye turned to the future.… (altro)

This is quite the most difficult book that I have read all year. I can just about balance the family budget but, when high finance is discussed, I hear the water in my ears as the tide rushes over my head.

After a poor start, where I felt that Gordon Brown was playing for his place in history, chiefly by sucking up to everyone (the brilliant Ed balls, the amazing Nicolas Sarkozy, etc.), this book is a path for world economic growth. It reads as an eminently logical system whereby everybody gains. One particular phrase that I really liked was, "the argument that the economy operates according to iron laws and the only role of men and women is to live by what those laws dictate demeans our humanity...." Amen to that.

When he stops trying, Brown comes across as a caring man with more that platitudes, the man has a plan - and it is not just for British success, but for World success. I hope that the world is ready: it will be a sad day for everyone if this opportunity is missed.
