Reviews
Consistently illuminating ... admirably balanced ... An exploration of democracy's ills that anyone concerned with the current state of the world will benefit from reading. It is a book that addresses universal questions -- John Gray New Statesman Coggan puts his argument together logically and methodically ... His conclusions are sensible and moderate ... It is rather a nice change to read a book which could best be described as a mild rebuke or a gentle warning. In essence, its author is getting a little Joni Mitchell about representative democracy -- David Aaronovitch The Times [Praise for Paper Promises]: This book stands way above anything written on the present economic crisis -- Nassim Taleb, author of 'The Black Swan' Bold and confident ... This book should be taken very seriously -- John Authers Financial Times
