Will an energy revolution bring the end of US hegemony? | Helen Thompson

“In the long history, disorder is more the norm than order.” However, the conjunction of an energy revolution and energy crisis is 'unprecedented', and may bring about the emergence of a new global hegemony, says Helen Thompson, author of Disorder: Hard times in the 21st Century. The 21st century has brought a powerful tide of geopolitical, economic, and democratic shocks. Their fallout has led central banks to create over $25 trillion of new money, brought about a new age of geopolitical competition, destabilised the Middle East, ruptured the European Union, and exposed old political fault lines in the United States. Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century is a long history of this present political moment. It recounts three histories - one about geopolitics, one about the world economy, and one about western democracies - and explains how in the years of political disorder prior to the pandemic the disruption in each became one big story. It shows how much of this turbulence originated in problems generated by fossil-fuel energies, and it explains why as the green transition takes place the long-standing predicaments energy invariably shapes will remain in place. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Disorder-Har... --- Times Radio brings you the latest breaking news, expert analysis and well-informed discussion on the biggest stories of the day. 📻 Listen now - https://www.thetimes.co.uk/radio Follow Times Radio on social: 🔵 Facebook   / thetimesradio   🔵 Twitter   / timesradio   🔵 Instagram   / timesradio   Subscribe here:    / @presidenttrumpreport
