Time for the great orator to talk back – Simon Schama, FT
The trouble is that Obama’s wonderful powers of classical oratory are not what a public, fed on reality TV, Fox News and Glenn Beck, wants. ‘Against ignorance even the Gods strive in vain…’
There is a good discussion shaping up in the FT between Martin Wolff, the ‘Great Economist’ and Simon Schama, the ‘Great Historian’. I will post it if I can.
