Martin Wolf in The Financial Times: ”Johan Norberg, a well-known ’classical liberal’, has written a devastating analysis of Orbán’s takeover of the Hungarian state for the Cato Institute … Norberg’s description of Orbán’s method for accumulating power is telling and chilling.”

1/ Orbán’s Hungary is often praised on the American Right. But after 16 years, we now know what that model delivers, and my new study shows it is the opposite of the American tradition of rule of law and free markets. 🧵

Incredible review of Peak Human in The Economist: "Mr Norberg adds fresh details and provocative arguments [and] deftly punctures popular misconceptions. Could a history book be more timely? America’s president will not read it, but others should."

Det charmigaste med ChatGPT är att den envisas med att hitta på bättre namn på mina gamla böcker. Vissa tror att AI är en frälsare, andra att den är en förgörare. I själva verket är den ett busfrö.
