The world is better prepared than about a decade ago for the challenges and hardships of the coming decade on paper. Governments have playbooks for the pandemic, companies make risk dashboards, airports know how to hold people aside for screening and investors master how to price geopolitical risk with chilling rapidity in an accelerating fashion.
