Synopsis

COVID-19 is speeding up history, but how? What is the shape of the world to come?

Lenin once said, “There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.” This is one of those times when history has sped up. CNN host and bestselling author Fareed Zakaria helps listeners to understand the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological, and economic impacts that may take years to unfold.

In the form of ten straightforward “lessons,” covering topics from globalization and threat-preparedness to inequality and technological advancement, Zakaria creates a structure for listeners to begin thinking beyond the immediate impacts of COVID-19. Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present, and future, and, while urgent and timely, is sure to become an enduring staple.

Goodreads review by Chris on October 26, 2023

I didn't realize when I was looking for a current events topical book that this one was published in Oct 2020. In hindsight we were just at the beginning of dealing with an increasing knowledge about COVID and hadn't yet seen any of the impact of having vaccines and all that they stirred up. I wish......more

Goodreads review by Donald on November 28, 2020

This book is a looking glass think piece. He draws on scientifically gathered data, recorded history, economic study, theories and histories of governance and a host of thoughtful authors to use the current pandemic to discuss the situation and future of the world. This is a grand effort in the plan......more
