“Max’s determination to get to the bottom of any problem he confronts and then explain how to think about it, rigorously and clearly, is the fruit of a pro found diligence – an absolute refusal to be sloppy, confused or misleading. This diligence made him the remarkable teacher and analyst he is.” —Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator, Financial Times

“A running theme of this book which has great contemporary resonance in many countries is Corden’s reflections on what it means to be an immigrant. He reflects on the challenges facing newly-arrived immigrants, how they seek to assimilate to the receiving country’s culture and values and how public policy can best facilitate this process. He draws heavily on his own family experience as refugees to Australia fleeing Nazi persecution. How does it affect the sense of identity? In his case he was much influenced, especially during the War, by Australia’s British culture and education. Politicians and the media who wax glibly about immigration and assimilation would benefit greatly from reading this book.” —John Martin, former OECD Director for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, and current adviser to the Irish government on employment policy
