Author: Chris Patten
Best remembered as being the last Governor of Hong Kong, Patten pens a coherent and utterly credible assessment of where we are at and the possible trajectory we might take in the future, from an eco-political perspective.
What makes this work stand out is the way in which he views the world through the lens of an averred democrat and his familiarity with the places and people that colour the complex landscape he analyses.
He draws on his many years at the highest levels of international affairs to tackle the big questions of our time - from financial turmoil to the energy crisis, immigration and the ascendancy of the East - on a way that makes easy yet compelling reading that is as entertaining as it is informative.
