Quakernomics

G Gordon Steel recommends a book that he feels all Friends should read

Economics is a ‘closed book’ to me and, at first, I feared that the same might be true of Mike King’s book Quakernomics: An ethical capitalism. But I obtained a copy, enjoyed it, and Sutton Friends later spent a profitable evening studying it. Quakernomics is a catchy and intriguing title – but what does it mean? The author defines it as ‘the economic activity of the Quakers’.
