I recently finished reading Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain" for the first time. Here's a good review. It's a slow but deep book, with plenty to reflect on. I was struck by some reflections on the nature of time. A topical book still. https://theconversation.com/the-magic-mountain-is-a-sweeping-critique-of-totalitarian-europe-100-years-later-its-warnings-feel-urgent-243132

I guess it's not surprising the UK has lower productivity compared to other countries: what to expect when something relatively minor like an hernia can significantly curtail someone's ability to work and make them destitute? This is a terrible waste of people's talents, energies, competences, and I cannot help thinking this is making the whole country poorer (save for those that capitalise on disasters like this). https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/06/england-2023-welfare-system-debt-state-support
