The Storm: Vince Cable's guidebook to the recession

April 4, 2009 1:05 PM

Cover of "We are in the early stages of a crisis of great severity and unpredictable consequences. It is now broadly recognised that, barring an improbably sudden recovery, the financial and economic upheaval is much more serious than those experienced, at least in the developed world, since the second world war. What should be done?": The Storm, Vince Cable

Rarely does a politician capture the popular imagination quite like Vince Cable has over the past year. He was warning of unsustainable debt levels, a property crash and the activities of the major banks from his very first parliament in 1997.

After more than a decade of sober-minded observation and assessment, the rest of the world has finally caught up with "the real shadow chancellor".

Vince Cable's book "The Storm" presents his clear and powerful analysis of how we have come to be here, and what we can expect to happen next. It's the Easter must-read, sure to be pored over by commentators and economists in studios, newsrooms and pubs up and down the country!
