Ferraris for All

Ferraris for All, the new book by voice of reason Daniel Ben Ami, has arrived on my desk. The message is in the title: growth is good, and it's good for everybody. The first half describes the rise of what he terms 'growth scepticism' and the second provides the counterarguments. The book is worth buying for the fantastic cover image alone – irrepressible human ambition captured in one photo. I'll read it with interest as this seems to overlap a bit with my forthcoming book, The Economics of Enough. However, I'll be reading it by the side of a pool in southern France – the Enlightened Economist is about to go on holiday for a week.
