A brave book that offers incisive analyses on the major trends shaping our world, on how we got here, and on the consequences of our past political choices. Most importantly, however, Anna does not limit herself to analyzing the past. On the contrary, she offers coherent and tangible ideas for the renewal of politics, both at the national and European levels. A book that is appropriately iconoclastic, a book that stubbornly refuses to adhere to outdated intellectual frameworks. But above all, a book that is a call to action for all those who care about the future of Europe and democracy.

(Josep Borrell, Vice-President of the European Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy)
