What to expect
In Consequences: The Rise of a Fractured World Order, William Priest, David Roche, and Alex Michailoff deliver an engaging, timely, and insightful analysis of identifying the sources and challenges facing liberal democracies and their ability to confront autocracies and autocratic behavior. The authors identify and address structural flaws present in both democracies and autocracies.
The book explains why the creation and distribution of wealth matters in creating nations where democracy can flourish, and the populace at large can win. Strategies for the creation of wealth (broadly defined) and its equitable distribution combined with the democratic tools that voters, investors, and citizens have available make it more likely those strategies can be deployed. You'll also find:
- Detailed and accurate discussions of the end of the liberal world order, post-cold war historical shifts, and the challenges that lie ahead.
- Explorations of the threat to democracy posed by populist politics and philosophies.
- An analysis of the likelihood of contemporary political actors to reform our economics and politics, and the steps we can take if they fail to do so.
