“Braver new world” by @johnkampfner.bsky.social should be required reading for all politicians. I’d vote for any party that used it to write its manifesto. In a world with so little to celebrate, it offers hope that things really can be better.

Every June 17th I think of the uprising in East Germany in 1953. Much less known than Hungary in 1956 or Czechoslovakia in 1968 but the first time brave Cold War Europeans confronted Soviet tanks @johnkampfner.bsky.social @coldwarpod.bsky.social

🇹🇼🌏 Excited to dive into @johnkampfner.bsky.social's new book, BRAVER NEW WORLD! John visits 10 countries that have managed to tackle different challenges and become models. He visits Taiwan to look at its universal healthcare system. Estonia for digitalization, Morocco for solar, and more.

Very flattered by this friendly and thorough review of my book in @foreignpolicy.com, by @johnkampfner.bsky.social, which doubles as an expert analysis on Merz's first year in offfice (though with an overly optimistic headline, because if Germany “has finally” grown up reamins to be seen)
