'The majority of economic analysts, especially those in financial markets, follow governments, central banks and international institutions in trusting to large-scale macroeconomic forecasts...Brendan Brown...belongs to the select band of commentators who prefer to derive their analysis from the market prices of key variables. For this reason alone he deserves our attention.' - The Financial Times

'...an insightful little book...' - Welling@weeden.com
