About this title

Synopsis

Global system, global politics, global problem—the former UK Secretary of State for Defense analyzes the new world order

The world is getting smaller. Globalization has transformed the way we operate, and not just financially. As unprecedented opportunities for trade and prosperity flow in, political stability seems within our grasp. But it can leave societies more vulnerable to external shocks, whether they come from individuals, states, or nature itself. And the tidal movements of populations, cross-cultural pollination, and fast-flowing money are becoming dangerously unpredictable. Liam Fox draws on his own experience to illuminate world events, past and present. In conversation with those responsible for keeping the world afloat—such as Tony Blair, Condoleezza Rice, and Donald Rumsfeld—he examines both triumph and disaster and explains how to meet the challenge of the new global order.
