Summary

"COVID-19: The Great Reset" is a guide for anyone who wants to understand how COVID-19 disrupted our social and economic systems, and what changes will be needed to create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward。 Klaus Schwab, founder and executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, and Thierry Malleret, founder of the Monthly Barometer, explore what the root causes of these crisis were, and why they lead to a need for a Great Reset。Theirs is a worrying, yet hopeful analysis。 COVID-19 has created a great disruptive reset of our global social, economic, and political systems。 But the power of human beings lies in being foresighted and having the ingenuity, at least to a certain extent, to take their destiny into their hands and to plan for a better future。 This is the purpose of this book: to shake up and to show the deficiencies which were manifest in our global system, even before COVID broke out。"Erudite, thought-provoking and plausible" -- Hans van Leeuwen, Australian Financial Review (Australia)"The book looks ahead to what the post-coronavirus world could look like barely four months after the outbreak was first declared a pandemic" -- Sam Meredith, CNBC (USA) "The message that the pandemic is not only a crisis of enormous proportions, but that it also provides an opportunity for humanity to reflect on how it can do things differently, is important and merits reflection"-- Ricardo Avila, Portafolio (Colombia) "A call for political change in the post-pandemic world"-- Ivonne Martinez, La Razon (Mexico)"History has shown, the book argues, that pandemics are a force for radical and lasting change"-- Mustafa Alrawi, The National (UAE)

HARMLESS FUDGE。I did not find all the reasons to hate this book (see many reviews on Amazon or here)。 Instead it is probably well-informed (there is an extensive bibliography) and has two-three significant defects, the first two in style, the latter in content:1) it tries to befriend everyone, particularly the Woke community; it even manages to slip in a #MeeToo2) I am not sure how an actual native speaker would react, but I found the usage of English particularly unctuous, with a proliferation HARMLESS FUDGE。I did not find all the reasons to hate this book (see many reviews on Amazon or here)。 Instead it is probably well-informed (there is an extensive bibliography) and has two-three significant defects, the first two in style, the latter in content:1) it tries to befriend everyone, particularly the Woke community; it even manages to slip in a #MeeToo2) I am not sure how an actual native speaker would react, but I found the usage of English particularly unctuous, with a proliferation of catchy even if overworn keywords, taken maybe from marketing and/or board meetings (unprecedented, realignment), not to mention exquisite English expressions to show how well learnt they are in the language ("nigh on", "potency")3) but the real point is, in July 2020, the authors venture into some forecasts like Low Inflation, Low Price of Commodities, China-USA as the major next confrontation。。。 men you got it all wrongIn conclusion, I am not sure if this is a Mein Kampf for the Fourth Reich as some readers saw it, I was expecting a horrific and horrendous reading, and it turned out to be a demonstration that even those who claim to be able to give a "panoramic overview of the future landscape" (the humbleness of it!) can't see beyond their nose。 。。。more
