Their fallout has led central banks t o create over $25 trillion of new money\, brought about a new age of geopo litical competition\, destabilised the Middle East\, ruptured the European Union\, and exposed old political fault lines in the United States.\n\nDi sorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century is a long history of this present political moment. It recounts three histories - one about geopolitics\, on e about the world economy\, and one about western democracies - and explai ns how in the years of political disorder prior to the pandemic the disrup tion in each became one big story. It shows how much of this turbulence or iginated in problems generated by fossil-fuel energies\, and it explains w hy as the green transition takes place the long-standing predicaments ener gy invariably shapes will remain in place.\n\nHelen Thompson is Professor of Political Economy in the Department of Politics and International Studi es at Cambridge University. Her book Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Cent ury was shortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year 2022 .
