"In The Age of Menace, David Buckham, Robyn Wilkinson and Christiaan Straeuli wield a rare ability to decode the forces that shape the world. They unravel the complex interplay of politics, business, institutions and social forces. The lessons gathered in the book - richly evidenced and spanning from John Rockefeller to Joe Rogan - justify calls for a new order, and the authors make a captivating case for what that should look like." Professor Adrian Saville, Gordon Institute of Business Science

“After two years of the plague, inflation at generational highs following over a decade of hitherto unseen money printing by global central banks, and the alarming rise of autocracy, the world feels like it has arrived at a crucial and dangerous inflection point. This book explains why, connects the dots between the discontents and those driving this new gilded age, and forces us to reconsider what we hold dear. Essential reading for our times.” Michael Avery, BusinessTech
