🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...
Democratic politicians have, though, pursued growth in GDP at the expense of other values. One response to @jburnmurdoch.ft.com pessimistic scenario is refocus on those values, combined with egalitarianism, sufficiency and quality of life. Not "it's the economy, stupid" but "it's the the society"
Is liberal democracy in terminal decline?
The old system worked under a set of conditions that are no longer present

Some thoughts on Guinness:
It’s the best looking beer by a mile and there isn’t a close second
It just tastes better in a Guinness pint glass (like how martinis get a premium from the glasses you drink them out of)
It’s shocking how low calorie a Guinness is. Basically like a Miller Light

The EU is one of the great achievements of the last decades despite its flaws.
“74% of Europeans think the EU serves their own country well” (and they’re right :-)
20 years ago plans for an EU "constitution" fell apart as French and Dutch voters voted against.
