Three white men
A few weeks back I went to the “Congress of the non-right” (I’ve disguised the name, to protect the innocent) here in sunny Manchester. I had a really really fantastic time. Everyone kept their contributions short and to the point. … Continue reading
Who’s Next?, as Tom Lehrer sang
OK, so the name should have been a give-away, but I am slightly obtuse. Gideon Rachman, one of the most worthwhile reads in the FT (which is going some) is, almost certainly, of the Hebraic persuasion, as the ol’ anti-Semite … Continue reading
Let the brain take the strain?
Robert Reich wrote this book a long time ago (early 90s) called “The Work of Nations”- [the title an allusion to Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations."] One of the most remembered ideas Reich threw out was that the future … Continue reading

Anarchy in the FT!
