PS Commentators' Predictions for 2022

Forecasting is always a hazardous business. But in a world of shifting power balances, technological change, and rising temperatures, no one can claim that the future is entirely inscrutable.

Project Syndicate commentators have again offered their suggestions for the most important political, economic, and policy developments to watch over the next 12 months. With the COVID-19 pandemic heading into its third year, last year’s radically different “new normal” is no longer so new. The coronavirus continues to acquire mutations and threaten economic and social stability around the world. Global temperatures – both literal and political – continue to rise. And though a deep sense of uncertainty will remain, some outcomes are as imminent as the trends underlying them are undeniable.
