About Liam Halligan
The great 20th century economist John Maynard Keynes is often credited with saying, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir? ” Others attribute the quotation to Keynes’s acolyte Paul Samuelson, the first American to win a Nobel prize in economics.
Whoever originally coined these words, they capture what strikes me as a highly-commendable way to think about the world – the use of evidence-based analysis, rooted in history but always alive to new developments, as an antidote to the deeply-entrenched, political-loaded groupthink that seems to characterise so much of what passes for journalism, academic work and our broader policy and political debate these days.
When the Facts Change (WTFC) examines the economics and politics of the Western world in the context of the fast-emerging new world order.
