Reviews for The Economic Consequences of Mr Trump

'One of the best new books on economics'

 Financial Times

'The book is a tour de force. The arguments are very clearly and succinctly put in a way that should convince anyone of the madness of the tariff policy'

David Miles, Professor of Financial Economics at Imperial College 

'Coggan's analysis is sharp, accessible and free from polemic - grounded in facts and, most importantly, good old economic common sense'

Tej Parikh FT

'Donald Trump and I both took economics degrees in the 1960s. This book describes the history which I learnt and Donald Trump has forgotten - or never understood. Philip Coggan's masterly exposition is easy to understand and (almost) impossible to forget'

John Kay, author of The Corporation in the Twenty-First Century 

'This is brilliant synoptic analysis'

 Morning Herald

'The Keynes of our age'
