“Rachman ought to be to geopolitics journalism what his colleague Martin Wolf is to economics comment and analysis. Yet somehow he doesn’t quite pull it all together. I have wondered why, both for his written pieces and for his podcast (which is now more than a couple of years old). He has amazing connections in the world of boffins and pointy-headed grand strategists as well as hardboiled politicians. Yet what he produces week after week both in print as well as audio are narrow and siloed views. The great non-reporter journalists are those who can give us a cross-cutting view of politics and economics, across space and across time. In other words, Gideon, using your fantastic connections to make connections so that we get a panoramic view of world affairs”
