'Fordham was ahead of her time–and today her insights are badly needed.'–Gillian Tett, Provost, King's College, University of Cambridge, Financial Times editorial board member and author of Fool's Gold

‘I have known Tina since we were both cutting our teeth on Wall Street . . . Mad World isn't theory, it's the product of decades in the room. Few people have earned the right to write this book. Tina is one of them.’–Joseph Mauro, President, Kirkoswald Capital Partners

Understanding the Geopolitics Supercycle is the new leadership superpower.

Business leaders now cite geopolitical volatility as the #1 risk. Tina Fordham–the first Chief Global Political Analyst on Wall Street and host of the London Stock Exchange’s Navigator series–has spent over 25 years advising governments, military leaders and business C-Suites on exactly this kind of turbulence. In Mad World, she demystifies geostrategy with insight, wit and candour, making the case for pragmatic optimism at a time when it’s easy to feel despondent. Renowned for her ability to bring clarity to complexity and drawing upon decades of experience advising senior decision-makers, Tina shares original evidence-based frameworks and practical approaches developed and tested throughout her trailblazing career, as well as insights from leading experts and the senior executives she advises. Containing interviews with two leading Oxford Professors, Mad World is a timely, witty and essential guide to becoming a ‘pragmatic optimist’ while surviving and thriving amid global change. For executives whose careers were forged during the prosperity and stability of the Peak Globalisation and Pax Americana era, making sense of geopolitics has never been more relevant.
