Works

Maren Urner and Felix Austen were guest authors. Maxton is also the author of the German best-seller Change! Warum wir eine radikale Wende brauchen[1]. The book examines the link between the economic system and climate change.

Maxton's books on the automotive industry, co-written with Dr John Wormald, include Time for a Model Change[6], which was Cambridge University Press's Feature Book of the Year in 2004 and Driving Over a Cliff[7], also nominated for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award.
