As one of seven children of an upwardly mobile Jewish family, David Goodhart (66) began the educational path of the British elite in the classical manner: at the prestigious Eton College. Later he studied politics and history and worked for a long time as a correspondent for the "Financial Times", among others in Germany. In the mid-1990s he founded the magazine "Prospect". This made him one of the most influential political analysts on the island.

Today he is Head of Demography, Immigration & Integration at the think tank Policy Exchange and publishes non-fiction books. His most recent book is "Head, Hand, Heart: Why Intelligence Is Over-Rewarded, Manual Workers Matter, and Caregivers Deserve More Respect" (2020).
