The argumentation on why Brexit is bad for the economy is so bloody obvious, the bit I struggle with is why anybody could possibly think otherwise. I don’t know if you ever listened to Sir Ivan Roger’s nine lessons in Brexit, but the economic outcome pretty much aligns with everything he outlined. None of this is a surprise.
How did Britain end up here? Is it simply the power of social media, Cambridge Analytica and effective campaigning? Or is it deeper than that?
I recall reading about Pol Pot’s anti-intellectualism being off the wall mad. But we have a watered down version of it nowadays I think. Some people wouldn’t trust expert opinion on Brexit economics thinking they knew best. Same way many people wouldn’t trust the work of mathematical modellers during COVID, instead preferring to apply their own pseudo-science to reach a conclusion they preferred.
Really enjoyed the latest podcast.
