Ian Bremmer
The Power of Crisis
How Three Threats – and Our Response – Will Change the World
Simon & Schuster, 2022
What's inside?
The global threats ahead are obvious. But will humanity respond?
Recommendation
The threats looming on the geopolitical horizon are easy to spot, but it’s quite possible that global leaders will find a way not to prepare for them, analyst and author Ian Bremmer writes in this illuminating overview. One of the threats he warns about – global contagion – has already happened, while the others, climate change and disruptive technology, have done enough damage to alert the world to their severity. Bremmer’s sobering book is primarily a plea to world leaders to move past divisive partisanship and petty bickering, and to work together against common enemies.
