Review
'Who Runs Britain? is essential reading' --The Times
'Peston has written an absorbing book, essential reading for anyone who wants to know how the British economy, which has become hugely dependent on financial services, now operates.' --Guardian
'The villain of Peston's piece is not the market but its political custodians. This book is a catalogue of cluelessness on the part of Blair, Brown and their advisers, on everything from pension funds, capital taxes and non-domiciles to the wider shores of private equity. The much-vaunted Treasury was most clueless of all.' --The Sunday Times
Review
'A compelling portrait of early 21st century casino capitalism...essential reading.' (Howard Davies The Times )
'This lucid and timely guide to the world of turbo-capitalism...absorbing book, essential reading for anyone who wants to know how the British economy now operates.' (Peter Wilby Guardian )
'A devastating account of Blair's producer capture by high finance...Peston navigates with ease the shark-infested waters of hedge funds, sub-prime borrowing, defined-benefit pensions and loans for honours.' (Simon Jenkins The Sunday Times )
'Fluent, incredibly up to the minute look at Britain...Peston, in relaxed, conversational; style is a great travelling companion along the highways of finance.' (Observer )
'starkly lucid...Reading Peston's book, you can only be flabbergasted all over again at how Labour kowtowed to wealth, glorified the City and put the nations economic eggs into one dangerous basket of fizzy finance.' (Polly Toynbee Guardian )
