Loose Canon

**Dispatches from the Far Edge of Economics and the Front Row of Politics**

Tim Cohen has a voice like no other in South African journalism. Lucid, informed, witty and creative – these are the qualities for which the nation will remember his remarkable body of work at *Business Day*, *Financial Mail*, *Daily Maverick* and, most recently, *Currency*.

If decades of experience as a reporter, columnist and editor were the studio, the blogosphere was the stage where Cohen could truly let his voice rip. His *Loose Canon* blog, launched in 2024, saw this solo artist take to the stage – and what a tour de force it was! This book brings together the greatest hits of Cohen’s light-hearted yet enthralling take on the politics, economics and governance of our time.

His reflections on the strange rules – and even stranger new rulers – of this random world will help readers make sense of it all, with a smile.
