Reviews and comments

• Chris Blackhurst in the Evening Standard described it as "an intensely intimate, refreshing and at times searing read" and said it "should be required reading in business schools and boardrooms"
• Ruth Gledhill in The Times says "is a detailed analysis of the ethical and moral issues arising from the present economic crisis. It is not remotely didactic and it is mercifully free from the self-righteous pomposity that you might expect from a banker who is also an ordained clergyman."
• Lionel Barber in the Financial Times says the book "wrestles with the demands of individual responsibility and the market but it is set in a broader economic and historical context. Green’s ambition is to make the case for globalisation as an inevitable, progressive force and as a human phenomenon."
• Boyd Tonkin in The Independent raises two cheers for a book that "strides fluently between T.S. Eliot and Karl Marx, Goethe and Camus, Adam Smith and the Prophet Isaiah, Amartya Sen and Teilhard de Chardin, Puccini's operas in Beijing and Rajasthani paintings at the British Museum"
• The Wall Street Journal described the book as "an unusual and thoughtful disquisition on how to conduct oneself in a world of high finance and ambition, in...the global bazaar."
