Synopsis

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.

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.

À propos des auteurs

Gordon Brown was Chancellor of the Exchequer, a role he held for more than a decade, then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He is credited with preventing a second Great Depression through his leadership at the 2009 London G20 summit where he mobilized global leaders to walk the world back from the financial brink. Today he is fully-engaged in international development work serving as the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education where he is spearheading efforts to deliver a quality and inclusive education for all of the world's children, as well as the World Health Organization's Ambassador for Global Health Finance. Brown has a PhD in History from the University of Edinburgh. A Member of Parliament between 1983 and 2015, he lives in Fife, Scotland, and is married to Sarah Brown, a charity campaigner, and the couple have two sons.

Michael Spence has done it all, from serving as Dean of the Stanford Graduate School of Business to advising some of the world's leading companies and governments. He is currently a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and Philip H. Knight Professor Emeritus at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Mohamed El-Erian has been at the forefront of economics and finance for decades and brings considerable private sector experience and know-how to discussions, as well as from his time at the International Monetary Fund. He currently serves as President of Queens' College, Cambridge and is also the chief economic advisor at Allianz, the corporate parent of PIMCO where he was CEO and co-CIO.
