4.0 out of 5 stars A masterly blueprint for progress,, 7 April 2005
By Hilary Evans (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
OK, so the world's in a mess. The rich are riding rough-shod over the poor, the poor are bickering among themselves, and a lot of people are going hungry tho the world produces more than enough to feed you, me and everyone else... So, is there an answer ? Mark Braund's masterly overview of the world's economic problems - which often involve social problems as well - shows that all is not lost. There ARE highways which, if we take them, could lead us - ALL of us - to global prosperity. The author has worked in third world countries and seen for himself the problems at ground level : he knows whereof he writes - and it shows.

This isn't always an easy book - there's an awful lot of it, for one thing. But so there must be, for him to cover the ground and prove his points. And it is stuffed full of facts - a hell of a lot I myself didn't know, for one. This is a book which taught me a lot, and which made me think, and will make you think, and think again. I can't promise you an easy read, but I can assure you of an immensely satisfying one. Go on, order it now and see what it does to your life !

4.0 out of 5 stars Must read chapter 9, 17 Feb 2007
By C. E. Bazlinton (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Prices of over £5m for some freehold houses in central London in early 2007, indicates one truth from this book: wealth increasingly shifts to all land owners as a society develops, despite agriculture taking a lesser part in the overall economy. Braund shows how this trend has historically pitted capitalist and worker against each other as they are left with the pickings after land ownership confers the lion's share of the national wealth. In leaving land and its value out of the economic equation in modern times, politicians have failed to bring the social justice that they espouse, despite the solution having been understood for 200 years. Braund gives a modern understanding of the findings of economists David Ricardo and Henry George. In setting out to convince the reader of the justice of what he calls `A True Economics', Braund takes a secular approach to ethics but arrives at values that religious people would also concur with. The book contains a mine of useful historical information.
