Here is a book review by a brilliant literary stylist and economic thinker, Joshua Clover. Read for yourself ,as he addresses each of the issues raised by the authors of the books under review and marvel at his grasp of ideas from politics,economics and history. And while he accomplishes his appointed task one can only admire his literary gift, as integral to that task. One is reminded of Richard Bronk’s ‘The Romantic Economist’. Mr. Clover is a writer and thinker who commands attention by virtue of his excellence.

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
