Reseña

Desynchronisation is one the first Synchronicity essays written over nearly a decade, beginning in 2017, examining the desynchronisation between the speed of technology, financial markets, and political institutions. Drawing on a background in Swiss private banking, fintech, regtech, and advisory work with governments across multiple countries, the author argues that recent political and economic crises — from Brexit to Chile's 2019 social uprising — share a common mechanism: the velocity of capital and technology has outpaced the capacity of legal, labour, and democratic frameworks to adapt.

Each essay was written as an observation of a specific moment, without pretension to forecast, and is published here with prefaces that place the original text in its context and trace its reappearance in other geographies, primarily Latin America. The result is less a collection of topical commentary than a model for reading events: markets are political before they are logical, and the political signal typically precedes its translation into prices by years.

Written for readers interested in political economy, technology, and the social transformations underway in emerging markets.
