We are living in a strange and unsettling moment, a period of historical upheaval. It would be foolish to see Donald Trump as the sole cause of these disruptions: he is only the catalyst. Economists and historians such as Yanis Varoufakis or Quinn Slobodian are warning us that we are entering an even darker and more brutal phase of capitalism. An unprecedented alliance between the right and far-right in Europe has also enabled the passage of the Omnibus law, which risks profoundly undermining environmental protection and human rights.
