Drawing on the characteristic developments of the last century, Bill Emmott sketches out the challenges that face the world in the next. There are few people who combine a truly global distribution of interests and insights with Bill Emmott's profile and experience. This book should be of interest to the managerial and investing classes, and everyone who seeks to appreciate more clearly the key assumptions on which public and commercial policy will be based in the first decade of the 21st century.

A special feature of the book is the results of the survey of 500 Japanese firms in Europe, US and Asia revealing exactly how they differ from other international companies. A series of original case studies of Japanese companies overseas is followed by an analysis of what Japan's worldwide influence amounts to, its relations with other countries and its own dwindling domestic markets.

When faced with global instability and economic uncertainty, it is tempting for states to react by closing borders, hoarding wealth and solidifying power. We have seen it at various times in Japan, France and Italy and now it is infecting all of Europe and America, as the vote for Brexit in the UK has vividly shown. This insularity, together with increased inequality of income and wealth threatens the future role of the West as a font of stability, prosperity and security. Part of the problem is that the principles of liberal democracy upon which the success of the West has been built have been suborned, with special interest groups such as bankers accruing too much power and too great a share of the economic cake. So how is this threat to be countered? States such as Sweden in the 1990s, California at different times or Britain under Thatcher all halted stagnation by clearing away the powers of interest groups and restoring their societies' ability to evolve. To survive, the West needs to be porous, open and flexible. From reinventing welfare systems to redefining the working age, from reimagining education to embracing automation, Emmott lays out the changes the West must make to revive itself in the moment and avoid a deathly rigid future.
