Conversations with History - Martin Wolf

[jstreet2]

Wolf made at least two errors in this interview.

First, he stated that America pulled ahead of Britain as an economic power (he "guessed") in about 1880 but the true date is closer to 1900. Forgivable of course but Wolf IS a very famous and influential financial thinker and should know this. Second, Russia not the US, defeated the Nazis and Wolf SHOULD know this being a Jewish refugee from Germany prior to WW II. The U.S. played a big role, but Russia played, by far, the biggest role.
