Publisher Description
'Offers hope and good sense in equal measure'
Ian Bremmer
'A sensible plan for reform that can help us create a fairer and more equitable world'
Sheryl Sandberg
Problems are mounting.
We face sputtering growth, an escalating climate emergency, worsening inequality, poor policy responses, increasing nationalism and a decline in global co-operation.
But a permacrisis need not be permanent.
In this book, three of the most internationally respected and experienced thinkers of our time, Gordon Brown, Mohamed A. El-Erian and Michael Spence, writing with Reid Lidow, explain where we’ve gone wrong and set out what could be done to bring about a brighter future for generations to come. They look beyond today’s headlines and political rhetoric to offer a bold, big-picture vision and nuanced, achievable solutions for fixing our broken approaches to growth, economic management, and governance.
The world is changing. What that change looks like is up to us.

— Walter Isaacson

About the Authors
Gordon Brown served as British prime minister and leader of the Labour Party from 2007 to 2010. During the decade before that, he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, making him the longest-serving chancellor in modern history. Brown’s time as chancellor was marked by major reform of Britain’s monetary and fiscal policy and sustained investment in health, education, and overseas aid. As prime minister, his tenure coincided with the recent financial crisis, and he was one of the first to initiate calls for global financial action, with his administration simultaneously introducing a range of rescue measures within the country. Brown has a PhD in history from the University of Edinburgh and spent his early career working as a television journalist. He has been a Member of Parliament since 1983. He is married to Sarah Brown, a charity campaigner, and has two young sons.
Mohamed El-Erian is co-CEO and co-CIO of PIMCO, one of the largest investment management companies in the world. He has been featured in Bloomberg, Forbes, the Financial Times, Latin Finance, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. Fortune named him a member of its eight-person “Mutual Fund Dream Team.”
