The Fractured Age

The Fractured Age offers a clear-eyed reckoning of how the global economy could evolve over the next decade. It analyzes the emergence of geopolitical blocs and how their relative size and economic diversity will influence goods trade, investment flows, technology transfers, and access to critical minerals. Written by Neil Shearing, Chief Economist at a leading provider of independent macroeconomic and market research, the book outlines the peaks and rifts that will reshape the global economy in a fractured era.

As the world shifts into a new global order, the book explains which economies are likely to benefit and which may bear the costs. Its insights are valuable for decision-makers in boardrooms and government alike, helping framing strategies in times of seismic upheaval and transition.
