“Felix Salmon represents the last bastion of old-school journalism, combining intellectual curiosity, a breadth of knowledge, and, crucially, razor-like intuition.” — Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan“Like its author, this take on our post-pandemic world is wise, witty, and filled with unexpected observations about our portfolios, our politics, our homes, and our hearts. The best part—you’ll come away feeling more optimistic about the world that Covid has wrought.” — Rana Foroohar, Financial Times columnist, CNN analyst, and author of Homecoming: The Path to Prosperity in a Post-Global World“A refreshing, thoughtful, and witty look into what’s changed and what’s ahead, The Phoenix Economy explores a lot more than economics and finance. It rightly warns that we live in a more unpredictable world and that ‘the unexpected isn’t over.’ Whether you are a policymaker, corporate leader, investor, or student, this is an important read.” — Mohamed A El-Erian, president of Queens’ College, Cambridge, and author of When Markets Collide“Felix Salmon is the Daniel Defoe of our time, reminding us of what we lived through during the Covid-19 pandemic and telling us how the world will change as a result.” — Joseph E. Stiglitz, recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (2001)“Felix Salmon is the rarest trifecta—thinker, reporter, storyteller. From lobster rolls to Etch A Sketch, The Phoenix Economy is your witty, knowing field guide to our new normal.” — Mike Allen, cofounder of Axios
