Braw’s timely study charts the rise of globalisation from the optimism of the late 1980s to the current realism. A pacy & human story, it weaves economics and history into a compelling geopolitical narrative of the last three decades. @YaleBooks

It was good to talk to @georgependle for his timely piece in @AirMailWeekly on Sir James Goldsmith. As I show in my book, Circle of Stars: A History of the EU and the People Who Made It, the billionaire MEP was the Godfather of modern right-wing populism.

During the 1930s, Winston Churchill retired to Chartwell, his Tudor-style country house in Kent, where he plotted a return to power.
Richard Vinen asks whether it’s time to rename the decade long regarded as Churchill’s ‘wilderness years’.
