All those years at Goldman would have imprinted in Carney’s mind that the point of rules is not the rules themselves, but their outcome. A lawyer like Starmer would see it very differently — the law is everything. Carney’s outlook is much colder, more pragmatic.

People talk about the right side of history - everyone living is currently on the right side of history (it is behind them, where it should be). One day, everyone living will be on the wrong side of history (they will be dead and part of it). Thank you for coming to my brutally materialist TED talk.

“The symbolism of the moment is hard to beat. At a time when Trump is not just demonising immigrants, but harassing them and sending masked goons to kidnap them from the street, America’s greatest city – and Trump’s hometown – has elected a Muslim immigrant to run it.”
