Wrecking the World Order (2024) - Matt Bevan, Avani Dias, Cheng Lei, Hamish Macdonald & Johanna Weaver

The world order that we’ve lived with for most of our lives is
experiencing a tectonic shift. We’ve experienced unprecedented
levels of growth and prosperity – but as a growing cohort
of demagogues and autocrats continue to lead our world, there
is something quite telling in how populations are responding to
our levels of ‘success’. 




Is our world order functioning the way it was set up to? And
how do we decide who best represents our decisions and
values?
