Recommendation

Economist Films has created a list of the events it believes will define 2017. Such a compilation will always be subjective, and this list boasts some odd inclusions – a Parthenon of books – and notable omissions – Brexit and the ongoing migration crisis. Nevertheless, the compendium provides an intriguing insight into major changes on the horizon. If you like to keep a finger on the world’s pulse, getAbstract recommends Economist Films’ pithy overview.

Take-Aways

  • Across all spheres, 2017 promises to be a tumultuous year. Islamic State will succumb, but terror and violence in the Middle East will continue.
  • In politics, Donald Trump’s inauguration, French presidential elections and China’s 19th National Congress will increase global uncertainty.
  • Russia will mark the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Revolution amid an environment that bans mass protests. A replica of the Parthenon comprising 100,000 banned books in Kassel, Germany, will signify resistance to tyranny and the importance of diversity.
