THE GREAT THEATRE OF THE WORLD
\nThe power of imagination in times of upheaval<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201eThe great world theatre is a place where the world can reinvent itself.\u201c <\/em>
\nPhilipp Blom's analysis of the current upheavals<\/em><\/p>\n

We live in the best of all worlds: Never before have we been at peace for so long, never before have we been so rich, so secure. We tell ourselves these stories. But what if they don't correspond to reality? When democracies crumble, hatred between social groups grows, economic growth stagnates and the risk of a climate catastrophe increases? In his major essay, Philipp Blom shows how it is possible that the West is in crisis not despite, but because of peace and prosperity. Nothing in our past has prepared us for this. The signs are pointing to a storm, and the battle for the future will also be a battle of stories, in front of everyone, on the stage of the world theatre.<\/p>\n
