Not for many generations has the world been brimming with this level of uncertainty, whether it’s a virus scouring the planet, the threat of nuclear war in Europe or the unravelling of political lies in yet another government scandal. The Age of Menace pulls these apparently disconnected strands together, illuminating the driving forces that have led us to this unique and chaotic point in human history.

From the authors of critically acclaimed The End of Money comes a book that explains the state of the world today. In the words of Michael Avery, it is ‘essential reading for our times’.

“After two years of the plague, inflation at generational highs following over a decade of hitherto unseen money printing by global central banks, and the alarming rise of autocracy, the world feels like it has arrived at a crucial and dangerous inflection point. This book explains why, connects the dots between the discontents and those driving this new gilded age, and forces us to reconsider what we hold dear. Essential reading for our times.”
