Motors of history

This week on CW, Angus Kennedy reviews Daniel Ben-Ami’s provocative book, Ferraris for All, and argues that even those who prefer the spiritual things in life should welcome Ben-Ami’s critique of contemporary cynicism about economic growth. Sean Bell finds the spiritual and material combined in Matthew Crawford’s book, The Case for Working with Your Hands or Why Office Work is Bad for Us and Fixing Things Feels Good. And in London theatre, Miriam Gillinson reviews Caryl Churchill’s English Civil War drama, Light Shining in Buckinghamshire, and Matt Trueman finds himself at the centre of things in the Gate’s Domini Public.
