Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Licence to be Bad written by Jonathan Alred, read by Charlie Anson.

Over the past fifty years, the way we value what is 'good' and 'right' has changed dramatically. Behaviour that to our grandparents' generation might have seemed stupid, harmful or simply wicked now seems rational, natural, woven into the very logic of things. And, asserts Jonathan Aldred in this revelatory new book, it's economics that's to blame.

Licence to be Bad tells the story of how a group of economics theorists changed our world, and how a handful of key ideas seeped into our decision-making and, indeed, almost all aspects of our lives. Aldred reveals the extraordinary hold of economics on our morals and values. Economics has corrupted us. But if this hidden transformation is so recent, it can be reversed. Licence to be Bad shows us where to begin.

A great deep dive into everything wrong (and right) about mainstream economics. Highly recommended and a learning experience that is at times touching as well as entertaining.

Fantastic

I thought this was a fantastic book that gave a completing, comprehensive and yet accessable explanation of a huge range of economic theories. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the history behind today's economics. I'll be listening to it again shortly.

Excellent

The book is a very good analysis of what is wrong with modern economics, or what is often referred to as neoliberalism. It's written in a way that is highly accessible to the layman and reader and I found it gives me hope that there are better ways of managing our affairs than the current post Thatcher model. The book confirms many intuitions I felt that many of economic principles we follow are based on a series of very flawed assumptions.

I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking at the world with alarm and wants an alternative to the orthodoxy.

Brilliant introduction to flaws of modern economy

A well-narrated and thoroughly enjoyable journey into economics' dark underbelly. I would recommend this to anyone questioning the way economic thinking is used to bamboozle us.

Eye opening

The absorbing and compelling story of how and why modern economics is almost entirely wrong headed. And an example of what happens when the use of maths becomes an end in and of itself, while being employed to describe and prescribe precisely nothing that actually exists in any underlying reality.

How did we arrive at the current economic mess?
