Thought Economics: Conversations With the Remarkable People Shaping Our Century (Fully Updated Edition)

A collection of fascinating conversations with business leaders, politicians, entrepreneurs and cultural icons: now fully updated with new interviews including Shaquille O'Neal, Matthew McConaughey, Tim Peake, Brian Eno, Daniel Kahneman, Jessica Ennis-Hill and many more.

We often talk of war and conflict, the economy, culture and revolutions as if they are something other than us. But all these things are a product of us – of our ideas, our dreams and our fears. We live in extraordinary times, and the changes we’re experiencing now, in these first decades of the twenty-first century, feel particularly poignant as decisions are made that will inform our existence for years to come.

What started out as a personal interest in the mechanisms that shape our views of the world and a passion for understanding has grown into a phenomenal compilation of once-in-a-lifetime conversations. In this incredible collection, Shah shares some of his most emotive and insightful interviews to date.
