In light of the many challenges facing the world today, it's clear we're not dealing with just one crisis, but many. Economist and historian Adam Tooze believes that these challenges have escalated into what he calls a ‘polycrisis’. This term, originally coined by French theorist Edgar Morin, refers to the various crises in economics, politics, geopolitics and the environment which are feeding into each other, exacerbating already difficult circumstances.

Adam Tooze is a leading historian, economist and author of several books on global economic history. In this interview, Tooze explains what the polycrisis is, how it came about, and how we can respond.
