Book Synopsis
This book is aimed at presenting a common-sense, first-principles, philosophical perspective on a vital subject that seems to have lost its way. There is such a thing as justice, there is such a thing as truth; and these two need not be lost forever.

Trade Review
Economics is not about measuring artificial constructs such as GDP, or inflation, nor whether stock prices follow a geometric brownian motion. Economics concerns human welfare, and the best mechanism to achieve the fairest outcome which preserves our civilisation.” Dr Kim Sawyer; “I’m really enjoying reading John’s book “A Philosophers take on Economics”, absolutely spot on for what is happening today. I’m pretty sure it’s the only book I’ve read by an economist (philosopher) that I could understand! And I sub-majored in economics many years ago at Melbourne Uni.” Grant Tenni; “I ‘Saw the Cat’ whilst reading John Tippett’s book in April. Now a proud ‘Georgist’ currently reading Progress and Poverty.” Gerald Vandermeer
