*The Economic Government of the World, 1933-2023*

By Martin Daunton, retired economic historian from Cambridge.  1024 pp., and full of information, so yes many people should read this book.  It is a major achievement, but somehow I wanted something with more economics and a sharper framework?  Here is a very positive Adam Tooze FT review, who describes the narrative as “postheroic and disillusioned.”  Multilateralism is covered in great detail.

You can pre-order it here, I picked up my copy in London at Daunt.
