Dan Hannan on the limits of the West
An interesting counterpoint to my recent speech courtesy of Dan Hannan. The West is back, and its strength is evident. But its geographical limitations have also been made evident by war in Ukraine.
“The West, in short, turns out to be a small collection of rich nations grouped around the Anglosphere. Many of us had assumed that, after the fall of communism, our values would spread, as people recognized that open societies based on individual freedoms were happier as well as more successful. Boy, were we wrong.”
