For more than thirty years Samuel Brittan has written on matters political, economic and philosophical. Against the Flow is the definitive collection of these contributions.

Samuel Brittan has established a reputation for elegance of expression, trenchant analysis and tremendous range of reference. All three qualities are powerfully apparent in this collection, as he ranges over the arms trade and US military (which he opposes); the expansion of free markets and a basic income for all (which he supports); as well as the war on terror, globalization and Britain’s role in the European Union, and the Holocaust Industry. The book also includes pungent portraits of some heroes and villains, including J.M. Keynes, Milton Friedman and Bertrand Russell.
