In "Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World," Fareed Zakaria, a seasoned journalist and author, navigates the intricate aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis, offering a profound roadmap for understanding the seismic shifts it has triggered. Amidst a landscape forever altered, Zakaria distills the chaos into ten essential lessons, ranging from the acceleration of globalization to the stark realities of inequality that the pandemic has laid bare. With each lesson, he not only elucidates the challenges we face but also illuminates the opportunities that lie ahead, urging us to harness technology, rethink governance, and embrace a collective resilience. Zakaria's narrative is both an urgent reflection on our current predicament and a visionary outlook on the future. Through engaging analysis and compelling insights, "Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World" bridges the gap between the immediate fallout of the pandemic and the long-term implications for our world. As we stand at the crossroads of history, Zakaria's work serves as a crucial guide for navigating the complexities of a transformed global landscape, making it an indispensable read for anyone seeking to understand the new world that is emerging from the ashes of the pandemic.

Loved reading [this book]. - Arianna Huffington
You could choose to live in either America or Denmark. In high-tax Denmark, your disposable income after taxes and transfers would be around $15,000 lower than in the States. But in return for your higher tax bill, you would get universal health care (one with better outcomes than in the US), free education right up through the best graduate schools, worker retraining programs on which the state spends seventeen times more as a percentage of GDP than what is spent in America, as well as high-quality infrastructure, mass transit, and many beautiful public parks and other spaces. Danes also enjoy some 550 more hours of leisure time a year than Americans do. If the choice were put this way—you can take the extra $15,000 but have to work longer hours, take fewer vacation days, and fend for yourself on health care, education, retraining, and transport—I think most Americans would choose the Danish model.
