Inventor, adventurer and original thinker, Bill Phillips is widely recognised to be an innovator in the field of economics.
In this book, Alan Bollard presents the story of a Kiwi electrician who, armed only with a few mediocred grades in sociology, came to produce one of the most cited economics articles in the world and build the MONIAC - a revoluntionary computing machine.
From a remote Dannevirke farm and wartime POW camps, to London's intellectual world, the meteoric rise of Bill Phillips is a story of adventurous spirit, determination and a 'can-do' attitude.
