One of the great parts of my job is that you get to meet the people you’ve always wanted to. When I first became editor, I used this a lot – mainly abusing my expenses account. Then we acquired an events department and with it, the facility to invite others along too. So next month, we’ll be trialling a new format: inviting a guest with a small group of subscribers in The Spectator boardroom for discussion and, after, a drink in our garden.
The first guest will be the Swedish writer, Johan Norberg. You may not have heard of him; in which case, I like to think I’m doing you a service with this blog. He’s a liberal (not really a conservative) whose 2001 book, In Defence of Global Capitalism, is in my view the best single-volume exposition of the merits of liberal economics.
