"An edifying anthology….[Grant’s] longstanding, consistent, contrarian views are bracing; his prose, fluid and witty." --Stephen Kotkin, The New York Times....."May well be the most perceptive book on the current financial crisis yet published….[Grant’s] trademark clarity of thought and of expression are there throughout. So, thankfully in an analyst who is generally pessimistic, is a crackling sense of humour." -- John Authers, The Financial Times

Money of the Mind

John Adams: Party of One
“Going beyond the humorous anecdotes and satirical asides that enliven his narrative…Grant sketches a poignant portrait of a doughty, stubborn, and many-sided man who defies easy generalizations….John Adams was a certified American original…and this biography, brimming with verbal riches, proves no less singular than its protagonist. - Ron Chernow, author of Alexander Hamilton “There are many…riveting scenes in Mr. Grant's biography. He wants to present a subject who identified with his countrymen one-by-one. This kind of biographical detail suffuses Adams's political principles with an intense poignancy…[Grant’s] perfect employment of details and anecdotes demonstrates what the romance of biography is all about.” - Carl Rollyson, The New York Sun

The Trouble With Prosperity
What happens when monetary policy is perverted from trying to preserve purchasing power, to trying to assure a perpetual prosperity. Review: “Grant's astute, elegantly written, selective financial history of the last few decades sounds a cautionary note: business is inherently cyclical; every boom historically ends in a crisis; and today's relative financial prosperity in the U.S., based on relentless downsizing and low inflation, will not last." - Publishers Weekly---
