Someone has to. The enemies of liberalism are one thing. They think what they think. It is the apologetic liberals, forever pledging to “do better” than post-cold war globalisation, as though it was distasteful anyway, who are harder to take. A false note in Mark Carney’s now over-discussed speech at Davos stands out. “We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it.” Why ever not?
