      abstract = {Exploring the rise and fall of global power from the  mid-nineteenth century, this book tracks the long and  interrelated trajectories of the most serious challenges  facing the world today. Although at first the urgency of  the coronavirus outbreak in 2020 seemed to take precedence  over other global problems such as socioeconomic inequality  and climate change, it has ultimately exacerbated these  issues and created opportunities to address them boldly and  innovatively. A Brief History of Now provides a birds-eye  view of world hegemony, economic globalization and  political regimes as they have evolved and developed over  the last two hundred years, providing context and insights  into the forces which have shaped our contemporary world.  Presented in an accessible and engaging narrative, the book  addresses key contemporary challenges and explores the  repercussions of a technological revolution, the potential  instability of democracy over the coming years, and the  urgent struggle to tackle climate change. With his book,  Diego Olstein helps to answer pressing questions about our  world today and provides a roadmap for analysing future  trajectories.},
