This book explores the psychological and economic dynamics that unfold in transitional periods—times when established orders collapse and new systems are yet to emerge. Drawing on Antonio Gramsci's notion of the interregnum, it analyzes how "monsters" arise: charismatic figures, dysfunctional institutions, and social pathologies that mirror collective fears. With a unique interdisciplinary approach, the author combines economic theory, political psychology, and cultural analysis to decode how societies project uncertainty and create meaning in times of systemic instability. Timely and globally relevant, the book sheds light on the emotional and ideological mechanisms that shape transformation, from populist surges to digital disruptions. It will appeal to scholars in psychology, political science, and economics, as well as policymakers and professionals navigating today's volatile world. Rather than offering simple answers, this work provides a critical lens through which to understand—and potentially shape—the future emerging from the crisis.
