讲座内容：

The UK and the USA have both been leading nations in the world, the UK in the 19th century until the early 20th century when the USA became the dominant force. Tony Pearson is British and explores the similarities and the increasing differences between the two. He is fascinated by the way in which the two countries have diverged but maintain a “special relationship” that is far more important to the UK than to the USA. He explores the roles of post-Brexit Britain and post-Trump America, and where they may be headed post-Covid. The position of the EU is very relevant to this review and China is used throughout as a familiar reference point for his audience.
