| adam_text | THE DEADLY CORONAVIRUS has spread across societies already riddled with political ills: rampant xenophobia and corruption, privatisation run amok, Brexiteer delusions, a Euroland dominated by self proclaimed nasty parties, and in America ֊ the unspeakable Trump. As the acclaimed historian Donald Sassoon observes in this blistering polemic, morbid symptoms were rife before the pandemic. Sassoon paints an unforgettable picture of our galloping descent into political barbarism, mixing blunt exposé and classical references with an astonishing array of data. Why are there more guns in civilian hands, proportionally speaking, in the United States than in war-torn Yemen? Why did the UK enter the pandemic with fewer doctors than any EU country except Poland and Romania? What would Horace and Dante have made of a world run by the likes of Bolsonaro and Boris Johnson? We stand poised uncertainly between eras, as the social advances of the boomer years - economic growth, educational expansion, personal liberation - recede into the past. But in Morbid Symptoms Sassoon refuses to abandon what Antonio Gramsci termed the optimism of the will. Instead he recalls a line from Machiavelli: ‘do not impute past disorders to the nature of men, but to the times, which, being changed, give reasonable ground to hope that, with better government, our city will have better fortune in the future’.
