Review: "Uncommon Sense explains how very simple analysis allows the prediction of such debacles as the 3G auction and the subsequent collapse of an industry, whilst showing how simple-minded thinking is dangerous in the context of a world that is predominantly chaotic and out of control. Peter Cochrane eats, sleeps, thinks and uses technology to create new and competitive business and wealth generation. But he always has a weather eye on the consequences of human action and reaction, and ultimately the impact on society."--BOOK JACKET.
