Against the Gods sets up an ambitious premise and then delivers on it." Business Week "Deserves to be, and surely will be, widely read." The Economist "[A] challenging book, one that may change forever the way people think about the world." Worth "No one else could have written a book of such central importance with so much charm and excitement."
