À propos de cette écoute
Getting to grips with the overlapping geopolitical, economic, and political crises faced by Western democratic societies in the 2020s.
The twenty-first century has brought a powerful tide of geopolitical, economic, and democratic shocks. Their fallout has led central banks to create over $25 trillion of new money, brought about a new age of geopolitical competition, destabilized the Middle East, ruptured the European Union, and exposed old political fault lines in the United States.
Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century is a long history of this present political moment. It recounts three histories—one about geopolitics, one about the world economy, and one about western democracies—and explains how in the years of political disorder prior to the pandemic, the disruption in each became one big story. It shows how much of this turbulence originated in problems generated by fossil-fuel energies, and it explains why, as the green transition takes place, the longstanding predicaments energy invariably shapes will remain in place.

Thompson brings calm and perspective to the deadly serious pursuit of resources.
About the recording: the appears not to have done much research and some pronunciations of names and places won’t be helpful to non-anglophone listeners (the St Maloooo declaration will now be ever thus for me) and every now and then it sounds like a first read-through, but really I don’t care much, as I am so grateful to have an audio version.
