Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Mark Malloch-Brown has been Deputy Secretary of the UN, a British government minister, a highly-placed official at the World Bank, and adviser to Cory Aquino, among other important positions; a friend of George Soros and Kofi Annan, he is well-placed to write this book arguing that UN development agencies, international charities and other NGOs are needed to help the world through the growing pains of globalisation, because governments can't or won't do so.
His position is hard to disagree with; but there is not enough analysis of problems such as nationalism. As George Orwell said of HG Wells, yes, we'd all like to see a world state; the question is, how are we to get one? I'd also like to know why American spelling is used throughout.
