Robert Carey, aged eight
Part 2 of a short story series about the young Robert Carey - and in case you don't already have it, you can get part 1 as well, A Pest of a Boy.
Ever since the hilarious events in the financial markets of Autumn 2008, I\’ve been inhaling books on economics, Some are more fun to read than others (fun? what\’s happening?) and Tim Harford with his Undercover Economics has always been one of my favourites.

Now he\’s gone and done it again…

This is really hard for me. I want to write a rave review but it\’s so difficult. It\’s the old \’happy families are the same\’ problem that Tolstoy may have mentioned. The fact is, rave reviews are quite dull which is why only brave, tough wrrriterrs like me dare to write them.

So we\’ll cut to the chase shall we? Read \’Adapt: why success always starts with failure\’ by Tim Harford. It\’s exhilarating.
