Watching and reading the news these days can be a numbing experience. How do we make sense of a world of multiple crises? And what can we do about it? “If you are feeling confused and overwhelmed you aren’t on your own.” That is the reassuring advice from Christopher Hobson. He is one of the leading figures in arguing that we will advance our understanding of what’s going wrong in the world when we realise we are in a ‘polycrisis’.
