Robin Wigglesworth is one of the most lucid and exciting journalists writing about finance today. Trillions tackles the enormous changes that have swept the investing world through the stories of its charismatic innovators. It's a fascinating journey and a crucial book for anyone trying to understand the financial markets

A fascinating account of an investment revolution. Trillions should be read not just by millionaires, billionaires and trillionaires, but by anyone who has a pension plan, individual savings account or money invested, directly or indirectly, in the stock market

A magisterial, delightfully written history offering up portraits of the academic scribblers and entrepreneurial practitioners who created the index-fund revolution. It also contains common-sense wisdom that will benefit all investors.

Wigglesworth has written an important book. Passive has mostly been a boon, but its impact in future may not be so benevolent. Investors, companies and regulators need to apprehend the water they are swimming in

Paul Volcker once quipped that the greatest innovation in finance in recent decades was the humble ATM. Not so, argues the FT global finance correspondent who makes the case for the index fund as the instrument that democratised investing, upended established structures and changed capitalism. Told through the stories of the group of radical nerds who made it all happen

This book is the definitive legal guide to the law of the pandemic and will serve as an important historical account of this dark and challenging period in our history

Adam Wagner is a masterly guide to the interaction of law, politics and culture. Anyone with an interest in freedom - and what is happening to it - should read this truly brilliant account of the pandemic and its long term consequences

A book that needed to be written - and nobody could have done it better

[An] invaluable new book

A brilliant and necessary book about the legal mechanism and human rights hangover of lockdown

Interesting and important ... Wagner is a fierce and effective critic

Anyone with an interest in the maintenance of good governance in a time of emergency will find much to ponder

Here, barrister Adam Wagner's emphasis is on the drastic impact lockdown had on our personal liberty and I hope some of his conclusion will be considered by government in the awful event of another such crisis occurring

'A pithy survey and review for non-lawyers of the two-year period when - but for the brief hiatus coming out of the first lockdown - virtually every aspect of the public's behaviour was indeed the subject of the criminal law ... Emergency State is a stress test for liberal democracy and human rights'

An informative and important opening step towards what must become a global debate as to how th eworld should respond to future pandemics of the internet age

A brilliant analysis... Emergency State is a wake-up call that reaches far beyond Covid. It identifies the toxic mix of factors that are eroding liberty in Britain as we speak

A brillliant analysis of how Covid was used to erode civil liberaties and sideline Parliament ... Emergency State is a wake-up call that reaches far beyond Covid. It identifies the toxic mix of factors that are eroding liberty in Britain as we speak.
