Summary/Abstract: Our world is fractured, and our means of fixing it are in crisis. Two books written by eminent thinkers in finance and economics deliver a worrying prognosis: the systems shaping prosperity are broken. Neither, however, provides a realistic cure. This is not due to a lack of rigour, but because they miss a fundamental paradox between the freedom of ideals and action.
