End of an Era?

 We mainly get The Times for the obituaries, but today it ran an article that resonated strongly, entitled ‘A peasants’ revolt in the new age of brutality’.  I have been warning for some years that the golden age of CSR is more or less over, which is the theme of this piece, but it sets the arguments in the context of the work of one of my favourite historians, Barbara Tuchman, and her book The Distant Mirror, which sits at my bedside.  Not comfortable reading.
