Do you feel
like we’re in a permacrisis? Chances are you feel some anxiety about the state
of the world. Gordon Brown, Mohamed A. El-Erian and Michael Spence certainly
did.
Three of
the most internationally respected and experienced thinkers of our time, these
friends found their pandemic Zooms increasingly focused on a cascade of crises:
sputtering growth, surging inflation, poor policy responses, an escalating
climate emergency, worsening inequality, increasing nationalism and a decline
in global co-operation.
They shared
their fears and frustrations. And the more they talked, the more they realised
that while past mistakes had set the world on this bumpy course, a better path
leading to a brighter future exists. Informed by their different perspectives,
they sought a common goal: achievable solutions to fix our fractured world.
This book is the product of that thinking.
At the
heart of today’s permacrisis are broken approaches to growth, economic
management, and governance. While these approaches are broken, they are not
beyond repair. An explanation of where we’ve gone wrong, and a provocative,
inspiring plan to do nothing less than change the world, Permacrisis: A Plan to
Fix a Fractured World, written with Reid Lidow, sets out how we can prevent
crises and better manage the future for the benefit of the many and not the
few.
The longer
a problem goes unresolved, the worse it will get; that’s what happens in a
permacrisis – and that’s why we must act now.
