Opis

A senior civil servant tells a series of cautionary tales on the perils of big government in the Republic of Loranor, as its well-intentioned Emperor finds the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. This modern retelling of the classic fable will strike a chord with anyone who has despaired at the workings of bureaucracy, and examines why things so often go wrong when politicians try to make everyone happy. 'The Emperor's Old Clothes ridicules pretty much everything and everyone ... van der Kamp's target is government that tries to do too much, and society is almost always worse off than if things had been left be ... so deftly has the economics been sifted into the mix that it gives this tale a delicious tang.' -- South China Morning Post. Jake van der Kamp is one of Asia's best-known financial and political columnists. His daily Monitor column in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post is 'a good antidote to cant' (FinanceAsia).
