Do you feel like we’re in a permacrisis? Chances are you feel some anxiety about the state of the world. Gordon Brown, Mohamed A. El-Erian and Michael Spence certainly did.
Three of the most internationally respected and experienced thinkers of our time, these friends found their pandemic Zooms increasingly focused on a cascade of crises: sputtering growth, surging inflation, poor policy responses, an escalating climate emergency, worsening inequality, increasing nationalism and a decline in global co-operation.
They shared their fears and frustrations. And the more they talked, the more they realised that while past mistakes had set the world on this bumpy course, a better path leading to a brighter future exists. Informed by their different perspectives, they sought a common goal: achievable solutions to fix our fractured world. This book is the product of that thinking.
At the heart of today’s permacrisis are broken approaches to growth, economic management, and governance. While these approaches are broken, they are not beyond repair. An explanation of where we’ve gone wrong, and a provocative, inspiring plan to do nothing less than change the world, Permacrisis: A Plan to Fix a Fractured World, written with Reid Lidow, sets out how we can prevent crises and better manage the future for the benefit of the many and not the few.
The longer a problem goes unresolved, the worse it will get; that’s what happens in a permacrisis – and that’s why we must act now.

Permacrisis: A Plan to Fix a Fractured World Book Description
Do you feel that the world is stuck in a never‑ending crisis? In Permacrisis: A Plan to Fix a Fractured World, three of today’s most respected thinkers—Gordon Brown, Mohamed A. El‑Erian, and Michael Spence—share their concerns about stagnant growth, soaring inflation, climate danger, and growing inequality. Their pandemic Zoom meetings turned into brainstorming sessions that exposed the broken systems driving today’s permacrisis. Yet, they also discovered that a clear, collaborative path forward can still be forged.
Through lively dialogue and diverse expertise, the authors outline why many policies have failed and what can be done to reverse the trend. They argue that the same forces that created the crisis can also be re‑engineered into solutions. Their plan is practical, bold, and aimed at benefiting the many rather than the few. Readers will find a roadmap that blends economic insight with environmental urgency, offering hope for a more stable future.
