Trade Review“The Age of Consequence reminds us that countries are framed in their existing forms by policies and philosophies conceived by people who pressed forward against the safe, conventional wisdom of their times and ignored Cicero’s dictum to shy away from such trouble. Much respect and gratitude to them – including, most certainly, Charley.” Policy
“An immensely enjoyable, informative, and realistic book, The Age of Consequence presents an engaging narrative of how people manage and create policy within government. Charles McMillan brings together his insider experience of working with politicians and an outsider perspective rooted in academics and business management to craft this fresh contribution to public policy scholarship.” Gerry J.
