Janan Ganesh: The West does not have a leadership problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are doing this again, are we? Very well. A hated leader makes way for someone else. That person in turn sets new records of unpopularity. Speculation begins about still another switch at the top, as it is easier to change the individual than to question the basic doability of the job. The place under discussion here is, of course, Germany, but also Britain, the United States and elsewhere. German chancellor Friedrich Merz can console himself that his peer in Paris is also despised. So were th
How the finance sector redeemed itself and what tech can learn from it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Only twice in my life have I thought that Britain could succumb to the mob. One was after the death of Diana, when it became unwise and perhaps unhealthy to suggest that people were overdoing the grief. The other was in 2012, when, as a delayed response to the financial crash, bankers were so vilified that some I knew felt unsafe. I should send them the latest Gallup World Poll. Across the 25 countries that were worst-hit by the crash, trust in financial institutions sank to a low of 37 per cent
Europe has no choice but to wish Marco Rubio well, even if it is through gritted teeth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After his death last month, a video surfaced of US senator Lindsey Graham cheering the bombing of Iran and his own part in it. Other Republicans had advised US president Donald Trump against the war. But Graham knew his golf partner âloves blowing stuff upâ. The recording was apparently made in March. In August, Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. The US has lost face and Patriot missiles. Households have lost purchasing power as oil prices have risen. Even if the war had worked, a sen
Where is the next âbest city in the worldâ? (And sorry, itâs not in Ireland) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An evening walk through Londonâs Islington with an Australian friend. He looks around at the Georgian facades, at the Lime-biking locals, and grows ruminative. âThey say itâs the best city in the world ... â I wait for the counterargument.â ... but they donât say it enough.â Of where else will they say it in future? Which will be the next city to penetrate the club of two or three that vie for number one status in surveys? Ask around, as I have done for months, pestering thoughtful
The West may become less polarised in coming years amid external threats (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After seeing off the Soviet Union â our Troy â the free world started to behave oddly. A US Congress that had at least aimed for bipartisanship over the decades polarised under Newt Gingrich, that charmer. No president could attract broad national support any more. (The last time someone won 400 electoral college votes was 1988.) Fox News started broadcasting. Jörg Haider broke through in Austria, Pauline Hanson in Australia. Jean-Marie Le Pen made the presidential run-off in France. The Br
