Charles Read on History, crises and change
Charles Read teaches economics and history at Cambridge University. His areas of interest include pandemics, famines, financial crises and, on a brighter note, all things related to transport. Trains, planes, ships and cars have fascinated him since an early age.
Recently, he has written several articles about the future of transport after covid-19. Before the pandemic decimated the industry, he edited The Economist‘s award-winning travel blog, Gulliver, and reported for the print edition of the paper from over 25 countries spanning 3 continents.
We discuss the rebound from Covid and dive into history to explore various historic crises and transitions.
