Failing States, Collapsing Systems

The book presents a transdisciplinary approach to understanding the interconnected crises of climate, energy, food, and economics, rooted in the author's previous work. It examines the global wave of social unrest since 2008, linking it to the decline of cheap fossil fuels and its implications for civilization. Through detailed case studies, it illustrates how geopolitical crises stem from these biophysical disruptions. The author advocates for a paradigm shift in our understanding of civilization's organization and emphasizes the need to challenge conventional media narratives dominated by fossil fuel interests, all while maintaining accessibility for a general audience.
