In a hung Parliament of any sort, Vince Cable is the man best equipped to be Chancellor. Nuff said.
This is the best seller on the credit crunch, by you know who…
Here’s what some leading journalists working for media of all colours are quoted on the Amazon website as saying:
Cable’s the star of Newsnight’s credit-crunch discussions, the go-to guy for a sagacious economics quote for broadsheets’ front-page leads, the man whom Tory Alan Duncan described as “the holy grail of economic comment these days”.

Everything a politician should be and everything most politicians are not.

A heavyweight in anybody’s cabinet.

Couldn’t find any books written by Alistair Darling or George Osborne I’m afraid, on economics or anything else come to that… but do let us know if we’ve missed something.
Our man Vince has a PhD in Economics. He lectured at the London School of Economics. More than 40 years ago he was Treasury Finance Officer to the Kenyan Government. In the 70s Vince was Special Advisor to John Smith when Smith was Industry Secretary. In 1995 he became Chief Economist at Shell. He's written well-received books on economics.
All this I glean from Vince's Wikipedia entry. Try finding a reference to economics in George Osborne's back story. Or, for that matter, the current Chancellor of the Exchequer. Now, who do you trust with the country's purse strings?
