|title=Made to last: The story of Britain's best-known shoe firm
|rating=4.5
|genre=Business and Finance
|summary=From its founding by the Quaker brothers Cyrus and James Clark in the Somerset village of Street, to its present-day status as a global shoe brand, the name of Clark has weathered many a storm as it draws close to its bicentenary. This account of the company, by a distant kinsman of the two original founders, has drawn heavily on the archives and on in-depth interviews with the family to tell the full story.

|summary=On the spectrum ranging between democracy and totalitarianism, Ivo Mosley upholds that the system of elective oligarchy lies closer to the latter. And yet, he essentially says, Western democracy as we know it today is ''nothing'' but this form of representative government, excluding a large proportion of the people whose freedoms it claims to protect.
