Today @ Noon ET - Book Talk: The End of the Old Order

Mathew Burrows and Josef Braml discuss their new book with QI's Mark Episkopos.

“The old world is dying, the new world struggles to be born,” wrote the Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci at the end of World War I. “Now is the time of monsters.” A witness to the rise of fascism in Italy, Gramsci understood transitions can be dangerous. The world today is at a similar inflection point. With Donald Trump victorious in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the Western liberal order presided by the US since the end of the Second World War is over.

How will America, Europe and the rest of the world manage this inflection point, including Trump’s tariff war? These questions are addressed by two eminent strategic forecasters, Mathew Burrows and Josef Braml, in their new book “World to Come – The Return of Trump and the End of the Old Order”.
