Book Review: Bloomberg’s Micklethwait And Wooldridge Foretold Today’s Revolt Against Non-responsive, Corrupt Western Democracies Back In 2014

September 13, 2024

In 2014, when I first reviewed The Fourth Revolution: The Global Race to Reinvent the State by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge, I was struck by how boldly they tackled the impending crisis in governance. They identified the key political challenge of the coming decade: fixing the bloated and dysfunctional state. Their analysis was as sharp as it was prophetic,...

In one survey of grammarians, two words deemed to be among the most beautiful sounding in the English language were Agape and Philadelphia. The problem is that these actually are Greek.

Life can change in a split second. My wife Pat and I experienced this first-hand a few weeks ago while visiting friends. How could I summarize? Shock. Utter shock. No time to think. No safety net.
