Corden has written a charming and insightful account of his professional and personal life, from his childhood in Breslau, Germany, until his retirement in Melbourne.The book is divided into two parts. Part I considers Corden’s early life, from a young boy growing up in Nazi Germany, to his immigration from England to Australia and what that means for the author’s self-identity. Part II addresses Corden’s work on the Australian Protection Policy for which he is perhaps best known, before reflecting upon the author’s time at Oxford University and the Australian National University, and, finally, moving on to review contributions made at the IMF, Johns Hopkins University, and The World Bank.This book will be of interest to all aspiring economists, as well as established economists familiar with Corden’s work. It is an inspiring and profound record of the intellectual journey made by one of Australia’s best known economists.

    Michael Woodford
    With the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, any pretense of a connection of the world’s currencies to any real commodity has been abandoned. Yet since the 1980s, most central banks have abandoned money-growth targets as practical guidelines for monetary policy as well. How then can pure 'fiat' currencies be managed so as to create confidence in the stability of national unit...
  • War, Wine, and Taxes
    John V.C. Nye
    In War, Wine, and Taxes, John Nye debunks the myth that Britain was a free-trade nation during and after the industrial revolution, by revealing how the British used tariffs-notably on French wine-as a mercantilist tool to politically weaken France and to respond to pressure from local brewers and others. The book reveals that Britain did not transform smoothly from a mercantil...
