New York Times Bestseller Renowned political scientist Ian Bremmer
draws lessons from global challenges of the past 100
years-including the pandemic-to show how we can respond to three
great crises unfolding over the next decade. 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 and address their implications. The good news? Some
farsighted political leaders, business decision-makers, and
individual citizens are already collaborating to tackle all these
crises. 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 crises to innovate our way
toward a better world. Drawing on strategies both time-honored and
cutting-edge, from the Marshall Plan to the Green New Deal, The
Power of Crisis provides a roadmap for surviving-even thriving
in-the 21st century. Bremmer shows governments, corporations, and
every concerned citizen how we can use these coming crises to
create the worldwide prosperity and opportunity that 20th-century
globalism promised but failed to deliver.
