Allen and Unwin invite readers to "Join Tim Harcourt - The Airport Economist - as he travels the globe in chase of the whys and wherefores of Australian international business success and unravels the economic life of the many countries he visits. He talks to business leaders, entrepreneurs, workers, government officials, academics, farmers and even a celebrity or two to uncover the world of export beyond economic text books and financial spreadsheets".

Tim is an occasional writer for Henry Thornton, which puts him in the pantheon - is that Greece's equivalent of the 'G', I hear you cry.

But I can guarantee you will find your time waiting for late flights passes more quickly if you equip yourself with this book of fine essays.

Thanks to Allen and Unwin and Tim himself we have 15 copies of this book to give to new or renewing Goldmembers.

It is close to the end of the financial year, and naturally we can provide a tax invoice.  (As well as using NAB's seamless credit card system, send us an e-mail telling us your postal address so we can send the book.)

So when you are reading Henry's daily Blog or other exciting writing, or wiling away the time visiting Shanghai or some other exotic location with Tim Harcourt, you will get a warm glow from knowing that Wayne Swan has subsidised your reading.
