A cracking read. ---Diane Coyle, Enlightened Economist [An] engrossing and eminently readable history of the circle. ---David Conway, Jewish Chronicle [L]ively and accessible. . . . [Edmond's] research has also uncovered important new biographical information, including about [the Vienna Circle's] lesser-known female members. ---Adam Kirsch, New Yorker I very much enjoyed this book, and found its direct style refreshing, and I hope it will serve as a model for others. [Edmonds] actually tells you what you want to know! ---Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution As pacy as a thriller. ---Joe Humphreys, Irish Times Absorbing. . . . so fascinating and relevant now. ---Thomas Filbin, The Arts Fuse
