In this second episode with Niall Ferguson, the conversation is an honest assessment of why he believes China and its political philosophy and approach are alien to Western values, and represent a clear and present danger. Niall explains how much has changed since Henry Kissinger’s historic mission to China in 1971, why belatedly Western Governments are increasingly recognising this but why the US remains a magnet for human talent, unlike China. The discussion continues on to the dangers posed by Islamification and the response by leaders such as President Macron and why job creation or its absence intensifies the problem. Niall then talks about the cost/benefit of University education, the parallels of this technological revolution with that of the introduction of the printing press and his thoughts on where he wants to invest. A veritable tour de force!
