William Rees-Mogg – författare

Former editor of The Times, the late William Rees-Mogg was a pivotal figure of post-war Britain. Here he recounts the remarkable story of his life.As editor of The Times (his glory years), journalist, commentator, Chairman of the Arts Council, and, later, Chairman of the Broadcasting Standards Council (when he was accused of censorship), the William Rees-Mogg spent his life at the centre of events in politics and journalism.Often controversial, his strong, fiercely defended opinions went to the heart of the problems of the day. From his famous defence of Mick Jagger on a charge of possessing cannabis, to his recent criticism of the morality behind the war in Kosovo and defence of monetarism, his writing demanded attention, to the point of becoming newsworthy in itself.He knew the people who shaped our time, from royalty to presidents, business magnates and religious leaders, and his unique insider perspective is here used to great effect, with perceptive, provocative recollections of people such as Rab Butler, Margaret Thatcher, Anthony Eden, Shirley Williams, Roy Jenkins, Robin Day, Rupert Murdoch and many more.From an early age his life was filled with incident – among the many anecdotes are the stories of the Bristol Blitz; his doomed attempts to enter politics; writing speeches for Anthony Eden during Suez; hiring burglars to uncover corruption in the Met; an eventful stay at Chequers with Harold Wilson; how Rupert Murdoch amused the Queen at lunch; and how Harold Macmillan impressed Ronald Reagan at dinner.His colourful and illuminating memoirs offer a wonderfully readable life of one of the great characters of the age.

Dos reconocidos asesores de inversión y autores del bestseller The Great Reckoning muestran tanto las corrientes de desastre como el potencial de prosperidad y renovación frente a los cambios radicales en la historia de la humanidad a medida que avanzamos hacia el próximo siglo. El Individuo Soberano detalla las estrategias necesarias para adaptarse financieramente a la siguiente fase de la civilización occidental.Pocos observadores de finales del siglo xx toman tan proféticamente el pulso del realineamiento político y económico global que marca el comienzo del nuevo milenio como lo hacen James Dale Davidson y Lord William Rees-Mogg. El Martes Negro confirmó la audaz predicción que hicieron del desastre en Wall Street en Blood in the Streets. En su bestseller siguiente, The Great Reckoning, publicado pocas semanas antes del intento de golpe de Estado contra Gorbachov, analizaron el colapso inminente de la Unión Soviética y predijeron la guerra civil en Yugoslavia y otros eventos que han estado entre los acontecimientos más importantes de los últimos años.En The Sovereign Individual, Davidson y Rees-Mogg exploran la mayor transición económica y política en siglos: el cambio de una sociedad industrial a una sociedad basada en la información. Esta transición, que han denominado «la cuarta etapa de la sociedad humana», liberará a los individuos como nunca, alterando irrevocablemente el poder del gobierno. Este libro excepcional reemplazará las falsas esperanzas y ficciones con una nueva comprensión y claros valores.
