Hard Times: Subtitle

The book is structured around three primary "disorders" that have converged into a singular crisis for Western democracies: Disorder by Helen Thompson - Financial Times

Published by Oxford University Press in early 2022, Helen Thompson’s Disorder is a sweeping and dense analysis that seeks to explain the current state of global instability by weaving together three distinct historical narratives: geopolitics, the world economy, and democratic politics. Thompson, a Professor of Political Economy at the University of Cambridge, argues that the "hard times" of the 21st century are not isolated events but are deeply structural, often rooted in the complexities of energy dependency and international finance.
