If you click here you will get to Jack Nicholson discussing the purpose of historians. He quotes, and then rejects David Cannadine’s argument that historians could have steered Liz Truss from her disastrous mini-budget if they had been consulted.
Have a read of the article, and then decide if you agree will Nicholson or Cannadine more. In short, are we about contemporary commentary or timeless reflection?
