The Hergemony Hour
The Hergemony Hour is Hergemony's monthly forum for examining geopolitics, economics, technology, global markets and strategic risk through a connected systems lens.
Each edition focuses on two major themes shaping the world, followed by a concise markets segment and forward look. The Hour is also the entry point into Hergemony's wider research system: Research Briefs test the themes against evidence and company fundamentals, while Hergemony Trends tracks how those themes evolve across time.

In the name Hergemony, “Her” refers to the Earth — the shared planetary system whose stability underpins political, economic and human systems.
The Hergemony Hour is therefore one hour each month dedicated to understanding the condition and future of the Earth system, the institutions that govern it and the strategic forces reshaping global life.
