THE LEADING FORECAST ON THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF US TRADE TARIFFS

'An exceptionally sensible, clear-headed and original thinker' The Financial Times
'A very timely book on the new, fractured world'***** The Sunday Times
'The best book on the future of the global economy'***** The International Economy

The tectonic plates of the global order are shifting, creating new pressures that will strain long-standing financial structures.

BUT WHERE WILL THE WORLD'S NEW ECONOMIC FAULT LINES EMERGE?
AND HOW DISRUPTIVE WILL THEY BE?

In a clear and far-reaching reckoning, The Fractured Age lays bare the threats and opportunities that will shape the world economy over the coming decade. It charts the emergence of geopolitical blocs in a world undergoing profound change - blocs whose relative size and economic diversity will be pivotal in reordering everything from goods trade and investment flows to technology transfers and access to critical minerals.

As the world enters another period of seismic upheaval and a new global order emerges, understanding which economies will benefit, and which will bear the costs, will be critical for effective decision-making throughout boardrooms and the halls of government.

As Chief Economist of one of the world's leading providers of independent macroeconomic and market research, Neil Shearing lays out a stark vision of the peaks and rifts that will unfold, and how they will fundamentally reshape the global economy in this fractured age.

As seen on Bloomberg, BBC News, CNN, Channel 4 News and in The Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal and The Guardian

Critics Review

An exceptionally sensible, clear-headed and original thinker.
Martin Wolf CBE, Chief Economics Commentator, THE FINANCIAL TIMES
Neil Shearing has written a very timely book on the new, fractured world we find ourselves in, and how governments, businesses and investors should respond.
David Smith, Economics Editor, The Sunday Times
The Fractured Age is a masterpiece. The best book on the future of the global economy on the market today.
David Smick, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author, founder and Editor, THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY magazine
Neil Shearing is one of the most accomplished macro-economists of his generation. Not only does he have a clear grasp of the issues, threats and opportunities confronting the world economy, buttressed by a mastery of the detail across umpteen countries, but he is also an excellent communicator, both as an author and as a speaker.
Roger Bootle, author, THE AI ECONOMY and former Group Chief Economist, HSBC Banking Group
