Siri Hustvedt at Hay-on-Wye. She calls books ‘the technology of ghosts’-how the dead communicate with us. Her memoir Ghost Stories is a dialogue between her & Paul Auster, also a love story captured in beautiful, clear prose: ‘The hours skip ahead but minutes often move slowly… I sleep by pill.’

‘No better guide to the new economic order’ Tim Harford, ‘Amazing. A breezy romp, without dumbing down’ Paul Krugman I say: I did not understand any of it until I read it. We may not want to be trade warriors, but the old rules-based system is not coming back.
