Selected as a Financial Times Best Book of 2022: Economics. The Treasury is one of Britain's oldest, most powerful and secretive institutions, one that has played a central role in shaping the country's economic system. Davis's book goes behind the scenes to offer an inside history of the Treasury. Based on interviews with over fifty key figures, it offers a fascinating, alternative insight on how and why the UK economy came to function as it does today, and why reform is long overdue.
