Spiked Entebbe review
10 Jun 2018My review of the recent Entebbe film was published on spiked on 21 May. In 1976, Palestinian and German terrorists hijacked Air France Flight 139 and flew it to Entebbe, Uganda. This event touches on some of the thorniest of all political questions, including the Holocaust, anti-semitism, the state of Israel, the plight of the […]

Putonomics review in FT
6 May 2018My latest book review in the Financial Times was published on Friday 4 May Understanding the lives of the wealthy in contemporary Russia is like opening up a traditional matryoshka wooden doll: the distinctive external form clearly shapes the contents. Russia is a world away from the textbook model of a free market in which […]

The Inheritance of Wealth
10 Mar 2018Yesterday the Financial Times published my latest book review. There is one battle that even the wealthiest person is bound to lose. Even the most advanced medical technology can only postpone, rather than overcome, the inevitability of death. Some argue that, before long, regenerative medicine will transcend this reality but, for the time being at […]

On the self-loathing rich
18 Feb 2018On 2 February my latest review was published on the Spiked Review of Books.

Spiked article on Jerusalem
21 Dec 2017My latest spiked article, published on 14 December, argues that it is not only Donald Trump who is grandstanding about Jerusalem. It was guaranteed to send self-righteous politicos into an uncontrollable rage. The man they hate above all others, Donald Trump, recognising Jerusalem as the capital of the country they loathe most of all: Israel. […]

The Know It Alls
5 Dec 2017On Friday 1 December the Financial Times published my review of Noam Cohen’s The Know It Alls. I have pasted it below including some sentences that were cut (in bold). The Know-It-Alls does not quite accuse the most famous entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley of devouring human flesh but its claims are not that far off. […]
