Summary
Rachel Reeves has had a rocky start as chancellor of the exchequer. Our editor-in-chief meets her at Davos to dissect her plans for growth. Australia Day is coming up, but do not expect universal merriment: its date has become mired in a culture war (10:31). And our “Archive 1945” project revisits the second world war through The Economist’s contemporaneous coverage (17:11).
