Review

'Richly argued and brilliantly written... a deeply thoughtful analysis that should be mandatory reading for anyone seeking to understand where we have gone wrong.'
--Vernon Bogdanor, Financial Times

<br \><br \>'Read the book, everyone. It's a superb analysis of the state we're in and what we can do about it. WTF?'--Cole Moreton<br \><br \>'An unbuttoned and vitally even-handed analysis that takes in everything from the decline of social mobility to the tyranny of social media.'--Metro<br \><br \>'Informed, personal, angry and funny: Peston lets rip in an immensely readable and thought-provoking book.'--Eddie Mair<br \><br \>'Elegant analysis of long term forces driving our politics (inc some solutions). Also a moving tribute to his dad.'--Paul Waugh, Huffington Post<br \><br \>'Robert Peston's WTF is a work of meticulous analysis that is also an inspiring, and often moving, manifesto for change. Beautifully-written, it is a manual for our times that everyone should read.'--Matthew d'Ancona<br \><br \>'This gripping and persuasive account of the mess facing liberal democracy ends with some optimism that politicians will rise to the challenge of responding to the tide of hopelessness.'--i newspaper<br \><br \>'This is a more radical, more passionate, swearier book than I would have expected from Peston - and the better for it... WTF is a great primer on how we ended up here. To escape this mess, we must first understand that.' --London Evening Standard

'The chapters on Tony Blair's and Gordon Brown's approach to borrowing, the handling of the banking crash and the failure to address economic inequality in its aftermath are well worth bookmarking.' --Guardian

'Essential reading.' --Stylist
