ROAD TO RICHES, or, The wealth of man

Business & Money

Peter Jay

Economics

London, Weidenfeld (2000)

As the Twentieth Century drew to a close, decades of global economic mismanagement and political cowardice have begun to bear bitter fruit Throughout the West, inflation is raging and recession is deepening... America: a right-wing TV preacher presides over a nation collapsing into civil disorder. Latin America: governments default on their debts, throwing the world banking system into chaos. Japan: once mighty, the nation turns in upon itself in a spasm of violence. Europe: in a climate of uncertainty and fear, a neo-Hitler figure has emerged, and is gathering support for his vision of the continent as a third power in the global arena.

Apocalypse 2000: Economic Breakdown and the Suicide of Democracy, 1989-2000

Sphere Books

Road to Riches is the story of the rise and fall of whole economies and nations, and the ascent of man as the only economic animal - as producer, consumer and accumulator of wealth. Ideas about the story of the wealth of man are constantly changing. Peter Jay explains how the economic machine works and how far beyond our control it really is. Peter Jay has spent his working life in both Britain and America, following and explaining the day-to-day twists and turns of fortune throughout the world. As he searches for deeper explanations of the forces that disturb our complacency and change our lives, he has felt the need to reach further back into history to find more enduring truths about complexities of economic patterns.

The Road to Riches or the Wealth of Man

ORION PAPERBACKS

As Peter Jay’s Timepieces makes clear, occasional blog posts are no substitute for the collected newspaper columns of an astute observer whose sustained curiosity, distinctive perspective and dry humor can be crafted into such a compelling book. Jay’s columns range from statehouse politics in Maryland, the periphery of several presidential campaigns and the Baltimore Orioles to farming in Harford County, watermen on the Chesapeake and a symposium on “contemporary writing.”
