It seems so clear, so clearly obvious: we are living in times of crisis: global health crisis (Covid- 19), environmental crisis (the fires), socio-economic crisis (intensifying inequalities), political crisis (the autocrats). These layers of crisis, protracted crisis - this is what we name 'times of crisis'. Amin Samman takes up this condition of our times. His focus is on what he calls "financial times" and his main concern is to illustrate how "we imagine and produce history in financial times" (Samman, 2019: ix).
