As the prevailing winds of the global economy have changed, so Britain has been buffeted from boom to bust and back again. But how much is our country's economic landscape shaped by the huge forces of international capital - and the hope that 'something will turn up' - and how much by the individual men and women at the heart of our economic policy? David Smith forged his career as Britain's leading economic journalist during the country's traumatic transition from the 'workshop of the world' in the Midlands where he grew up, to an economy built on the sometimes shaky foundations of services and the City. Something Will Turn Up is his account of the chancellors, prime ministers, Bank of England governors and senior officials he has encountered and interviewed over the last five decades, and their impact on the realities of modern British life since the war. Smith leads us through the mire of government policy and long-term trends with wit and clarity to paint a vivid, personal picture of how we got to now - and where we might go from here.

Bored with endless grandstanding and people being wise after the event? Then, The Age of Instability is the one book you should read on the financial crisis. Setting the near collapse of the international financial markets and banking system in a global and historical context, Sunday Times Economics editor and bestselling author, David Smith, looks not only at the political and economic factors that contributed to the fall of Lehmans, collapse of Iceland and disintegration of the subprime mortgage market but also at the emergence of a culture of risk and greed that made it possible to believe that greed was good and the good times would last forever. The Age of Instability provides an authoritative yet accessible guide to what happened, where, and when with practical suggestions for what needs to happen next.

For 30 years David Smith reported from across our world. He was there in the final days of the last of Europe's fascist dictators. He was there when two Popes died in the space of just 33 days. He was there as the sun set on the British Empire in Africa. He saw war in the Middle East, and the collapse of the Soviet Union in Moscow. In Washington, he came to know every president from Bush Sr. to Barack Obama, and witnessed everything in between - the wars, the impeachment, the rise of the American Superpower, and the crash that followed. Then he decided to seek a new challenge, and write another chapter in a remarkable life. He embarked on the eternal quest of making a great wine. This demi-memoir from David Smith, one of Britain's most experienced Foreign Correspondents, is a book about hope, risk, love, taking chances and seeking new frontiers.

Few issues lend themselves better to multi-scenario planning than the future of Europe. Here David Smith has filled a glaring gap. He has done so with breadth of vision, open-mindedness, and an authorative command of this complex subject. It is a combination that makes this thoughtful book a must for business planners and policy makers. It also uniquely appeals to Europhiles and Euro-sceptics alike.' Bill Jamieson Sunday Telegraph At a time when Europe's future is the subject of a grand experiment, this detailed exploration of what the results might be is invaluable. Everyone will find something to agree with - or disagree with - in Eurofutures. Either way it provides an immense amount of food for thought.' Diane Coyle The Independent.

The north-south divide in Britain is not a line drawn across the country above which everyone is poor and below which everyone is rich, but there are fundamental economic, political and social differences which are widening every year. This book examines the differences in wealth, employment, housing, investment and attitudes, the trends and the possible ways of making Britain one nation instead of two. The book will draw on unpublished economic and political sources to show the consequences of government policies (eg the poll tax) and the long term trends.
