About this listen
Getting to grips with the overlapping geopolitical, economic, and political crises faced by Western democratic societies in the 2020s.
The twenty-first century has brought a powerful tide of geopolitical, economic, and democratic shocks. Their fallout has led central banks to create over $25 trillion of new money, brought about a new age of geopolitical competition, destabilized the Middle East, ruptured the European Union, and exposed old political fault lines in the United States.
Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century is a long history of this present political moment. It recounts three histories—one about geopolitics, one about the world economy, and one about western democracies—and explains how in the years of political disorder prior to the pandemic, the disruption in each became one big story. It shows how much of this turbulence originated in problems generated by fossil-fuel energies, and it explains why, as the green transition takes place, the longstanding predicaments energy invariably shapes will remain in place.

superbly explained
Wonderful book. Lucidly laid out. So simple to understand such a complex story.
Hope that the author writes an update in around 2030.

Quite engaging material, good depth
Content was quite engaging, looked well researched and structured. The story it created out of facts and interpretation was superb, compelling and explains a lot about the world we live in today and how choices made by governments are formed. It's quite sad to see the state human society has come to, driven by power and money. Well worth a read/listen.
Narration was not of the same quality and let me down. The voice was too shrill at times, word ending seemed chewed up, no tonal variation or quality, very high speed for a matter which was technical and complex to understand if you are not in the subject. I know speed can be varied in Audible and I usually start at 1.5, moving to about 1.7 after about 25%. of the book. But this narration strained understanding at even 1.4. For example " tax less" came across as " tax laws" , not sure how much I missed on the superb content due to below-par narration.
