Madsen's "Think Tank - the story of the Adam Smith Institute" continues to attract comment. The Guardian has just featured a review by Steven Poole, sandwiching Madsen (as he points out with delight) half way between intellectuals and gin!

Madsen is pleased his book merits a notice in the Guardian, though he's not sure about "his Panglossian triumphal march through policy concepts taken up by successive governments, inspired by the institute's "philosophy" of tax-cutting libertarianism."

Most people will probably read the book and then decide for themselves, especially since there's now a Kindle edition of it…
