"Deirdre McCloskey has written what must be acclaimed as the most ambitious book in political economy published in over half a century..." Peter Boettke, 2006 Hayek Fellow, London School of Economics.

"Having read and reflected upon this book I feel I have become a different person." Sten Jönsson, Professor of Management, Göteborg University

"Fashionable thinkers may sneer at the free market and its practitioners, but economic liberty may actually be a force for personal goodness." Matt Ridley, the Wall Street Journal

"There has always been an uncomfortable connection between Sunday-morning and Monday-morning Christianity, but McCloskey shows that Sunday and Monday virtues are compatible and complementary." James Halteman, Wheaton College, Illinois.

"This magnificent and sprawling book by Deirdre McCloskey is the product of a long journey through Chicago economics, history, literary theory, gender change and Christian faith." Paul Oslington, Associate Professor of Economics, University of NSW / ADFA, Canberra, Australia.
