'Tim Harford has done it again.. he has produced another excellent book full of insight and surprise. Just when you were ready to write-off economists, ADAPT shows how broad and useful their thinking can be. I wish I had written this book' --Evan Davis, author of Made in Britain
Here is a compendium of also-rans and never-made-its. We're talking Betamax, the Sinclair C5, puffball skirts, sporks, the Millennium Dome... and countless other products that never quite cut it.
Keynes Betrayed: The General Theory, the Rate of Interest and Keynesian Economics
This book argues that Keynesian economists have betrayed Keynes' theory and policy conclusions, and that the world has been misled about those policies. Keynesians have focused attention on policies for dealing with effects of economic failure as they arise, whereas Keynes was concerned with the cause and then the prevention of economic failure.

George Bernard Shaw
Shaw is a playwright with a socialistic purpose, and although he expresses himself through drama (mainly comedic), he did not go for cheap laughter. He uses comedy and wit as a means to an end, and if he does not feel this end is met, he considers his efforts a failure.

Shadow Wolf (Wolves of the Beyond, Book 2)
By Kathryn Lasky
The wolf pup Faolan was born with a twisted paw, a slight defect that caused his wolf clan to abandon him in the forest to die. But Faolan, with the help of the grizzly bear who raised him as her own, survived. Now he's made it back to his clan and as a gnaw wolf, the lowest ranking pack member. And the hardships are just beginning. Another gnaw wolf, Heep, is jealous of Faolan and sets him up for failure. As if these humiliations are not enough, Faolon is framed for the murder of a wolf pup.
