Biography
John Gray
'An intimidatingly prolific generator of both scholarly and polemical work...The range, clarity and sharpness of his thought place him miles ahead of any other British member of the company of free-market wolves.' - Stephen Howe, New Statesman and Society
'These esssays, sometimes sonorous, sometimes touching, are among the most distinguished analyses of our present condition now on offer.' - Ferninand Mount, Times Literary Supplement
