Us vs. Them

In this book, Ian Bremmer argues that globalism has created significant winners and losers, particularly in the developed world.

The middle class has been left behind, and this has led to a backlash against globalism, manifesting in populist and nationalist movements.

Bremmer discusses how events like Brexit and the election of Donald Trump are symptoms of this broader issue.

He also explores the impact of technological changes, such as AI and automation, on job markets and societal stability.

The book warns of the ongoing spread of populism and the need for new social contracts between citizens and governments to address these issues.
