Greece, two Spanish elections, Brexit, now President Donald Trump ... what next?

Global political developments continue to scare. Greek politics over the past couple of years; two Spanish elections; Ireland’s election in February; and the Brexit vote in June are all symptomatic of the global rejection of conventional politics.

Donald Trump’s election, this week, brought that rejection to a whole new level.

In many ways, what we are living through is the ongoing legacy of the global crisis that commenced in 2007 and which has exerted so much pain on so many people all over the world.
