I've just read this series, and yes for it at least "excellent" is the right word. From this one series I learnt a lot about how bankers, insurance agencies and engineers collaborate to delivery large novel projects.

Or at least how the Europeans do it. It's involves a remarkable amount of cooperation and trust building, among many parties, and it delivered. I had no idea it was so complex. I guess it's done in much the same way in the rest of the OECD.

Societies (and ergo countries) that can't pull that off must be at a huge disadvantage compared to those who can. So much so, that it seems likely it explains the entire difference between OECD levels of affluence, and societies on the brink in other parts of the world.

Jérôme used to hang out on The Oil Drum, back in the Peak Oil days (2006?), and explain the financing of wind power there.

I'd say he knows his onions.
