Smart, funny and incisive, Free Lunch Thinking is essential reading for anyone who really wants to know how economies tick - and why they often don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Tom+Bergin\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eTom Bergin\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tom Bergin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47380041826467,"sku":"9781847942753","price":295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781847942753_a971a5a4-e1f5-4690-9955-bafe20400c44.jpg?v=1776602624","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781847942753","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
