Economist Reviews George Black's New Casting a Spell

“This is the story, as the author admits, of the worm in the bud: the age-old battle between perfectionism and economics. On the one hand a clique of craftsmen, handing down through small workshops the knowledge of how to make something slight, exquisite and precious, and on the other the combined forces of wealthy uncaring customers and wealthy uncaring owners.” The Economist reviews George Black’s latest book.
