News, views, and commentary from a free market point of view. I moved from Blogger to Substack in December 2023. For previous posts back to 2011 see my Blogger page at https://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com
By day, I am a consultant to the private sector and government. By night, I am the author of How to Fix (Unf#ck) A Country: 6 Things to Reboot South Africa, published by Jonathan Ball.
On this platform, I write about themes on geopolitics, trade, energy and technological shifts. I do this mainly by reviewing books on these themes while adding my perspectives on their implications for the present and the future.
A newsletter on economics, geopolitics and history from Adam Tooze. More substantial than the twitter feed. More freewheeling than what you might read from me in FT, Foreign Policy, New Statesman.
