Saturn's Children

Saturn's Children
by Alan Duncan & Dominic Hobson (1995)

The title 'Saturn's Children' refers to the god Saturn who, on being told that he would be destroyed by his son, ended up eating him. The cover of the book is taken from the painting by Goya, portrating Saturn devouring one of his children. The thesis of the book is that an overweening state similarly devours liberty, propserity and virtue.

An End to Illusions
by Alan Duncan (1993)

In the late 1980s political leaders claimed that Birtain was experiencing an economic miracly. The years of decline had come to an end. Instead the 1990s began with unprecedented debt, a deep recession and a credit squeeze that destroyed thousands of businesses and caused hundreds of thousands of reposessions. This pamphlet traces the origins of the illusory propserity on the 1980s. It argues that unless the UK's financial insitutions, housing and investment policy are radically reformed, the illusions and mistakes will be repeated.

This is the first serious demand for the Bank of England to be given greater independence.
