Why the Chimera Is the Monster for Our Uncertain Age

Whenever the human world is in trouble, our imagination turns to this creature: a hybrid beast that defies easy understanding.

A painting by the Belgian artist Sanam Khatibi titled “Tasting a Piece of Her Gum” (2023), which she made exclusively for T. Khatibi’s work deals “with animality and our primal instincts,” and she often paints anthropomorphic subjects who “live on their impulses in alluring, exotic landscapes,” she says, “ambiguous [in] their relationship to power, violence, sensuality and each other.”

Download the PDF. For the better part of the past decade, the world economy has been dominated by a unique geoeconomic constellation that the authors call "Chimerica": a world economic order that combined Chinese export-led development with U.S. overconsumption on the basis of a financial marriage between the world's sole superpower and its most likely future rival. For China, the key attraction of the relationship was its potential to propel the Chinese economy forward by means of export-led growth. For the United States, Chimerica meant being able to consume more, save less, and still maintain low interest rates and a stable rate of investment. Yet, like many another marriage between a saver and a spender, Chimerica was not destined to last. In this paper, economic historians Niall Ferguson of HBS and Moritz Schularick of Freie Universität Berlin consider the problem of global imbalances and try to set events in a longer-term perspective.
