Janan Ganesh
Janan Ganesh is the Financial Times' biweekly columnist and associate editor, one of the most widely read political essayists writing in English. Born in Nigeria, raised in South London, he reasons his way to conclusions other commentators won't reach: that Keir Starmer may need to fail, that Trump and MAGA have come apart, that the West misreads its own decline. He spent four years covering America from Washington and Los Angeles before returning to London in 2022, and his Saturday FT Weekend column ranges freely across cities, football, restaurants, art and the texture of the good life.
Jonathan Chait
Jonathan Chait is an American political columnist known for picking fights in every direction - skewering conservative economics, needling the progressive left over identity politics, and defending liberalism with the persistence of a man who enjoys an argument. After three decades that took him from The New Republic to New York magazine's Intelligencer, he joined The Atlantic as a staff writer in late 2024. He is the author of 'The Big Con' and 'Audacity,' a self-described liberal who is happy to annoy everyone on his own side.
