The author has been described by News Ltd as an "iconoclast", "Svengali", a pollie's "economist muse", and "pungently accurate". Fairfax says he is a "Renaissance man" and "one of Australia’s most respected analysts." Stephen Koukoulas concludes that he is "85% right", and "would make a great Opposition leader." Terry McCrann claims the author thinks "‘nuance’ is a trendy village in the south of France", but can be "scintillating" when he thinks "clearly". The ACTU reckons he’s "an enigma wrapped in a Bloomberg terminal, wrapped in some apparently well-honed abs."

Kindle test-drive

I have updated my profile of the incredible Kindle, and my summer reading collection, for Business Spectator here. I fell foul of the work trap last night...Got home lateish and started reading at about 830pm. Asleep by 831pm. Woke up at about 1015pm thinking that it was 2-3am, which is when I normally rise for the first time. Those first few days back at work can take a surprisingly high toll. Or maybe I am just getting older.
