Looking for some Sunday reading? Here’s a round up of some of the best stuff I’ve seen this week on the longer-term implications of #COVID2019:
. @TomMcTague on what the crisis has revealed about the nature of power, and what that means for the ideas of the left https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2020/04/jeremy-corbyn-labour-bernie-sanders-democrats/609397/">https://www.theatlantic.com/internati...
. @Will_Tanner on the potential for this pandemic to accelerate social change, just like others have done https://www.politico.eu/article/how-pandemics-spark-social-progress/">https://www.politico.eu/article/h...
. @lionelbarber on the implications of the crisis, including an end to ‘ultra-mobility’ and a reassessment of the value of labour https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/how-will-the-world-be-changed-by-the-war-against-coronavirus">https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/h...

Pls share any more suggestions. I mean, it’s not like I’ve got anything else to do...
