I love the FT, but this paragraph is a classic case of being one-eyed about reality. Yes, Burnham is being nostalgic: but in the same sentence is “the reasons Thatcherism was needed in the first place.” Which, of course, is another form of nostalgia.

And this is the problem with much of today’s political commentary – a refusal to believe that the neoliberal era is over. It’s over not because people have lost their minds (which would be their preferred explanation) but simply because it was never sustainable.
