This is a superbly illustrated book, which investigates the outcome of free-world politics and market economies. Split into three parts, the book starts with a fascinating portrait of Ayn Rand from the time she was in Russia to her move to the US and scaling new heights with her philosophy of objectivism. It also details her personal life and how she was admired by a young Alan Greenspan.

In some way, the tail on Rand leaves you with a feeling of being cheated into believing things, which were too utopian to be true, but that’s the reality. In the second part of the book, he explains the Supercrash of 2008 and shows us what led up to it. The graphic in this section is a visual treat in which Cunningham cleverly uses images, symbols and examples to demystify the complexities of credit default swaps, hedge funds and other devices behind the crash.
He challenges the way we think and resist change, even when the alternative is a disaster.
Anyone interested in a simpler way to understand the crash must read this section to come out wiser. Part three is aptly named The Age of Selfishness, examining the neurological basis of political thinking.
He shows how the neo-cons hijacked the economic debate and led the way to a world dominated by the market.

To know better what he tries to emphasise one can just take the example of Greece, which has paid the price for joining a club that held impossible membership rules.
Subtly, what he has tried to convey is the manner in which why many of us find it difficult to change our minds, even when faced with the powerful evidence that a certain course of action is not working. His artwork is a masterstroke which is simple, yet elegant. Supercrash is a hugely readable book, which delivers a devastating analysis of our economic world.
