✨The Power of Crisis

In this revelatory, unnerving, and ultimately hopeful book, Bremmer details how domestic and international conflicts leave us unprepared for a trio of looming crises—global health emergencies, transformative climate change, and the AI revolution. Today, Americans cannot reach consensus on any significant political issue, and US and Chinese leaders behave as if they’re locked in a new Cold War. We are squandering opportunities to meet the challenges that will soon confront us all.

In coming years, humanity will face viruses deadlier and more infectious than Covid. Intensifying climate change will put tens of millions of refugees in flight and require us to reimagine how we live our daily lives. Most dangerous of all, new technologies will reshape the geopolitical order, disrupting our livelihoods and destabilizing our societies faster than we can grasp their implications.

The good news? Some farsighted political leaders, business decision-makers, and individual are already collaborating to tackle all these. The question that should keep us awake is whether they will work well and quickly enough to limit the fallout—and, most importantly, whether we can use these to innovate our way toward a better world.

Drawing on strategies both time-honored and cutting-edge, The Power provides a roadmap for surviving—even thriving in—the 21st century. Bremmer shows governments, corporations, and every concerned how we can use these coming  to create the worldwide prosperity and opportunity that 20th-century globalism promised but failed to deliver.
