The latest Quarterly Essay has just been published - which also means the responses to my essay are out (and my response to them…) I’m going to post some extracts below with links to where you can read some for free. Others you’ll have to buy the essay for - absolutely worth it

@ak_pennington @KosSamaras @km_ankit Judith Brett, Tim Dunlop, Chris Tallentire and Georgina Woods are in the essay that you should buy, as is my response to the responses. I’m very grateful to all who read and thought about it.
