Matthew Syed: The coddling of the Western mind

Matthew Syed, a columnist for The Times and author known for his keen insights on culture and politics, dives into the UK’s economic decline and the pressing need for strategic reform. He critiques rising debt and the dangers of quantitative easing, while contrasting China’s nimble regulations with Western inefficiencies. Syed also addresses shifting political allegiances, the complexities of patriotism versus tax flight, and the impact of identity politics on social cohesion. His take on the decline of wokeness and call for a focus on growth is particularly thought-provoking.
