Harvard and Stanford Universities Senior Fellow and prolific author Niall Ferguson is one of the world's pre-eminent experts on history, politics and economics. His policy insights into the current coronavirus crisis are unsurpassed. Here he talks with ex Australian Deputy PM John Anderson.
He excoriates not just China, but also the US and Europe. And not just from hindsight, cause he was warning way back in January at the DAVOS conference.
A gripe (@ around 14’): no mention of Hong Kong. Yet we are doing the best in the world, statistically. I guess that may be because we are “China adjacent”, and China = Bad, so we too are the “one who can’t be mentioned”. But that’s a bit crazy, as there are ways we’re handling it that are keeping deaths down, without the ruinous lockdowns in other countries.
ADDED: I just want to say: I don’t necessarily agree with every single thing prof Ferguson says. I don’t know why we got to a place where we hate on a person if they don’t agree with every single one of our own prejudices.
