Gordon Brown’s errata slip - signs of how they would govern
??Gordon Brown’s 1989 book "Where there is greed"?? was read by friends, colleagues and staffers for Labour as the Preface acknowledges as well as presumably by the author.?? Despite all this attention when it came off the press it contained an errata slip with 19 citations. It was??a harbinger of things to come.
My favourite erratum note is the following:
??
P.99 line 18 "overall nearly 40% of the shares bought up in privatisation stocks, 7.34 million shares in total have been sold on." should read: "overall nearly 40%, or 7.34 million of shareholders buying privatisation stocks have now been sold on."(sic)
I wonder if they got good prices for shareholders in those days?
