Britain is in a bad place at the moment. The country that gave the world the Industrial Revolution is now visibly deteriorating. "Managed decline" is the popular phrase, although there is a debate over how "managed" it really is.
Tom Ough says that none of this is necessary. Britain could – and should – pursue a programme of innovation that benefits its people materially, but that also feels psychologically comforting in its cultural familiarity. The term for this vision is "Anglofuturism", our subject today.
Tom is a senior editor at UnHerd, co-host of the Anglofuturism podcast, and author of 'The Anti-Catastrophe League: The pioneers and visionaries on a quest to save the world.'
