My congratulations to Tyler Cowen on his lovely essay in the TLS of February 26, 2010, a review of John Lanchester, “Whoops! – Why everyone owes everyone and no one can pay.” Behind the subscriber wall, alas, but it is an intriguing, elegant review and has caused me to go order the book. (IOU rather than Whoops in the US. Also, the Kindle edition is available since January in the US, but the physical book won’t be released until … September! Hmm.)
