From the bestselling author of The Storm comes a fascinating insight into the state of the British economy from one of our leading politicians, who was at the heart of the coalition government.
Vince Cable was MP for Twickenham from 1997-2015. He was the Liberal Democrat's chief economic spokesperson from 2003-2010, having previously served as Chief Economist for Shell from 1995-1997. He was Business Secretary under the Coalition Government from 2010-2015.
From reviews for The Storm:
'The man who gives politics a good name' - Rory Bremner
'The only British politician to emerge from the credit crunch a
star' - Simon Jenkins, Sunday Times
'The best book you can read to understand what on earth is going on
out there' - Sean O'Grady, Independent
'An urgent, admirably clear book' - Nick Cohen, Observer
'Vincent Cable is the star of Newsnight's credit-crunch
discussions, the go-to guy for a sagacious economics quote for
broadsheets' front-page leads and the man whom Tory Alan Duncan
described as "the holy grail of economic comment these days"' -
Stuart Jeffries, Guardian
'Everything a politician should be and everything most politicians
are not' - Jeff Prestridge, Mail on Sunday
'A heavyweight in anybody's cabinet
*The Times*
A Book of the Year 2015
*Observer*
[A] thoughtful sequel to [Cable's] earlier bestseller on the global
financial crisis, both for what it says about the state of the
nation and for its occasional insights into life in the coalition
government.
*Observer*
A remarkably rounded work... Cable has produced a book that makes a
serious and relevant contribution to the continuing debate about
banking, infrastructure, housing, China, executive pay,
short-termism and many of the other topics which continue to top
the business and political agenda.
*Evening Standard*
[After the Storm] is a lucid, erudite analysis of the global
economy, and Britain's place in it, between 2010 and 2015, as
viewed from the vantage point of a senior member of the
coalition
