Here are three points on which I differ from his view.
What does the new year have in store for us, economically, politically and internationally?
Much of the UK is not remotely full – more people would benefit all of us.
Indeed, the alternative policy I advocated at the time is now…the policy throughout the world as to how to deal with the next crisis.
Our commercial transactions are not some morally-insulated part of our existence. They belong to our moral lives and fall under our moral requirements.
The collapse of undergirding Christian assumptions in our culture and policymaking has led to doctrines that destroying our faith in others and the hope of improvement.
