Description
The Next Crisis (2025) analyzes global polling data to reveal what people around the world worry about each month and contrasts these concerns with prevailing media and policy narratives. It shows how everyday pressures – such as cost of living, employment, immigration, distant wars, corruption, and climate change – shape public sentiment and often diverge from expert projections. It argues for aligning policy priorities with the real anxieties of citizens rather than overemphasizing unlikely threats.
