THE POWER OF CRISIS

 Ian Bremmer is both an insightful thinker and a great writer. His most recent book, The Power of Crisis, focuses on the major crises impacting not just the United States, but all nations throughout the world. The ultimate issue is that none can be addressed adequately by any one nation. Without the cooperative behavior of all nations, our world is indeed threatened. We realize that the United States has a problem addressing national issues, e.g., gun control, because our our national dichotomy. Even members of Congress cannot agree on much and it has been a long time since our Supreme Court rendered a unanimous verdict. 

 

Bremmer focuses global health emergencies and international conflicts. He clearly identifies the international crises that cannot be resolved by any one nation: global health emergencies, e.g., Covid, climate change, and the revolution resulting from Artificial Intelligence (AI). 

 

Without the cooperation of all nations, even the best efforts by any one nation will be futile.
