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. 001440318 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (ProQuest Ebook Central platform, viewed February 7, 2022). 001440318 650_0 $$aHistory, Modern$$y19th century. 001440318 650_0 $$aHistory, Modern$$y20th century. 001440318 650_0 $$aHistory, Modern$$y21st century. 001440318 650_0 $$aWorld politics$$y19th century. 001440318 650_0 $$aWorld politics$$y20th century. 001440318 650_0 $$aWorld politics$$y21st century. 001440318 650_0 $$aEconomic history$$y19th century. 001440318 650_0 $$aEconomic history$$y20th century. 001440318 650_0 $$aEconomic history$$y21st century. 001440318 650_6 $$aHistoire$$y19e siècle. 001440318 650_6 $$aHistoire$$y20e siècle. 001440318 650_6 $$aHistoire$$y21e siècle. 001440318 650_6 $$aPolitique mondiale$$y19e siècle. 001440318 650_6 $$aPolitique mondiale$$y20e siècle. 001440318 650_6 $$aPolitique mondiale$$y21e siècle. 001440318 650_6 $$aHistoire économique$$y1750-1918. 001440318 650_6 $$aHistoire économique$$y20e siècle. 001440318 650_6 $$aHistoire économique$$y21e siècle. 001440318 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001440318 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aOlstein, Diego Adrián.$$tBrief history of now.$$dCham : Palgrave Macmillan, [2021]$$z9783030824198$$w(OCoLC)1263816611 001440318 852__ $$bebk 001440318 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-82420-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001440318 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1440318$$pGLOBAL_SET 001440318 980__ $$aBIB 001440318 980__ $$aEBOOK 001440318 982__ $$aEbook 001440318 983__ $$aOnline 001440318 994__ $$a92$$bISE
