A Point of View - The Boring Twenties
Niall Ferguson argues that a post-pandemic 'Roaring Twenties' is far from certain.
'There are good reasons to doubt that the 2020s will be roaring in any sense at all, good or bad', he writes. 'Rather the remainder of the decade may prove distinctly boring.'
Reflecting on his own teenage boredom, he believes - for young people - a boring decade would be the biggest disappointment of all.
