Polycrisis: A Breviary

Read Raj Patel on the overlapping global crises of war, ecology and economy, and how frontline movements are confronting this moment.

Today we launch the seventh essay in Transition Security Project’s geopolitics series — “Polycrisis: A Breviary” by Raj Ratel.

Raj Patel is an author, filmmaker and academic. He is the author of Stuffed and Starved, The Value of Nothing, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (with Jason W. Moore) and, most recently, Inflamed (with Rupa Marya).

In this essay, Raj assesses the global moment of polycrisis, situating it in the convergence of planetary crisis and the decline of US hegemony.
