And if I find the time I'll write a review. But I can tell you thus far this is an excellent book, a biography of an idea and how it changed modern economics. In a way it leaves a lot of questions surrounding the controversies of what causes economic growth or why some nations are rich and others are poor.
Meanwhile, you can read reviews by Arnold Kling here and a review from the Economist here.
No student should be granted a post-graduate degree without reading this book. In fact Warsh's expository skills are so deft that no journalism student should leave campus without a copy.
