Description
The West appears to be at a year zero, with the seeming end of relative peace and prosperity. The pandemic, Putin's invasion of Ukraine, growing tension with China, a rolling back of globalisation, Brexit, and painful interest rates have shattered our illusions of the world as we knew it. For years, politicians promised growth that would benefit the least, but they failed. Growth has vanished, leaving the poorest struggling to heat their homes and eat. Confidence in fundamental institutions has been undermined by leaders who have an uncomfortable relationship with the truth and an economy that mainly serves the richest. This book asks all the right questions about how to rebuild prosperity, democracy, and social cohesion. It's time to abandon pessimism and fatalism and look for answers. 'Bust?' is a candid and timely account that will start an important debate about how to allow us all to hope again.
