Highlights from This Month's Post
Is the world going to hell in a handbasket? The answer is no, says Jonathan Power in his new op-ed. Despite the pandemic and the disruption brought by the war in Ukraine, there is still room for being optimistic.
"Don't depend for your information on the fickle eye of television. Nor on an under-motivated and often ill-informed press. [...] We do live in difficult times and there are always problems looming over the horizon, but the prospects, judging on past trends and performance, are good," writes Power.
Jonathan Power was for 17 years a foreign affairs columnist and commentator for the International Herald Tribune. He has also written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, and the Los Angeles Times.
