Do you feel like we’re in a permacrisis? Chances are you feel some anxiety about the state of the world. Gordon Brown, Mohamed A. El-Erian and Michael Spence certainly did.
Three of the most internationally respected and experienced thinkers of our time, these friends found their pandemic Zooms increasingly focused on a cascade of crises: sputtering growth, surging inflation, poor policy responses, an escalating climate emergency, worsening inequality, increasing nationalism and a decline in global co-operation.
They shared their fears and frustrations. And the more they talked, the more they realised that while past mistakes had set the world on this bumpy course, a better path leading to a brighter future exists. Informed by their different perspectives, they sought a common goal: achievable solutions to fix our fractured world. This book is the product of that thinking.
At the heart of today’s permacrisis are broken approaches to growth, economic management, and governance. While these approaches are broken, they are not beyond repair. An explanation of where we’ve gone wrong, and a provocative, inspiring plan to do nothing less than change the world, Permacrisis: A Plan to Fix a Fractured World, written with Reid Lidow, sets out how we can prevent crises and better manage the future for the benefit of the many and not the few.
The longer a problem goes unresolved, the worse it will get; that’s what happens in a permacrisis - and that’s why we must act now.

The IMF and World Bank should not be allowed to make funding contingent on a country opening its markets to foreign investment, to its own detriment. The Investor-State Dispute Settlement has forced countries to override their own environment laws to allow foreign investors to profit from mining, polluting their air and water etc. So IMF and World Bank funds must help the countries not the foreign investors to the harm of those countries.
I think INET is amazing and always thought provoking. On the saving doctors' time using AI. Is that really a valid point? Doctors and nurses waste more time on filing out and submitting (and resubmiting) private insurance forms - which teach them nothing, than they do on reporting on their patients, which does enhance their skills and expertise. There are nurses and even doctors who are hired to manage private insurance claims full-time (not kidding). If we switched to a tax-based medical insurance structure (with private providers), we could cut our medical costs by more than a third - and we could save our medical professionals far more wasted time than promoting for-profit AI solutions to "save doctors time." Bit disingenuous.
