Rethink: How We Can Make a Better World

I’ve often wondered how the world will be a different place after the pandemic. This book is a series of essays by different authors giving their view about how the world will be changed. There is a wide range of topics, so something you can dip in and out of, some more interesting than others and summarised well by Amol. The drawback for me is that we are in an ever changing situation and with so many unknowns ahead of us, some of it is already dated.

The book: “Rethink- Leading Voices and What Next and What’s Possible”Is an anthology edited by BBC Media Editor Amol RajanThe anthology is provided in response to the Coronona virus that has during the past couple of years caused much concern and fright among policy makers and the public at large Worldwide.However, the fright of Corona virus seems most recently to have abated somehow, perhaps thanks to the successful application of modern medical technology to combat the virus. The current concern is more with the man-made scourges e.g. the war in Ukraine and climate changes.Plague, wars and natural catastrophes have been mankind scourge throughout our history, an excellent survey of this history is Niall Ferguson most recent book Doom.
