crisis, economy, geopolitics
This is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the relentless pace of global crises and wants to trade reactive anxiety for the sharp, historically-informed judgment needed to understand the deep structural forces connecting economics, politics, and power in our volatile world.
Economic historian Adam Tooze possesses a rare ability to synthesize sweeping economic data and dense political history into a clear narrative that reveals how global crises are made, not just how they happen.
