The US has a much smaller government than Sweden or Denmark or France, but I think there’s a lot to learn historically from the US, including in terms of equality. And I think the enormous educational advance that was there in the US in the 19th century and the middle of the 20th century is key to understanding many of the issues I refer to.

Whereas deciding on an individual basis who is honorable, who is not honorable — it’s a very different business. And I think, indeed, that governments are not elected to do these kinds of things.
