In the age of the Thought Leader, we have to hold each other accountable and interrogate our assertions.

Andrew Carnegie is turning over in his grave. The golden age of American Capitalism is collapsing at the helm of Trump and they’re celebrating.
This is globalisation in action and America is just becoming yet another destination of lower node value chain actors.

Completing Richard V. Reeves’s Of Boys and Men definitely hits a different nerve with a 19-month old boy sleeping next to me.
