My book review of The Twilight Before the Storm: From the Fractured 1930s to Today's Crisis Culture. The next decade promises to be the most critical period in the transition from today’s capitalism toward a yet-to-be defined alternative system. Viktor Shvets, global strategist, asks: Will it be capitalism or communism, feudalism or despotism? The fusion of the disruptive Information Age and deep Financialization (aggravated by generational change and climate) is destabilizing every aspect of our lives—from the role and functioning of labor and capital to political systems, from the private sphere to morality, from education to entertainment.
