Interesting to learn of Tooze’s backstory. I loved his analogy, that if the climate crisis is our WWII, then partnering with China is the way to beat it, in spite of the fact we understand it’s a brutal regime (just like the war couldn’t have been won without Russia). I also enjoyed his scathing remarks upon the Biden administration.
