The COVID-19 pandemic has turned all our lives upside down, and we should get used to this new reality, claims the world-renowned commentator and political scientist Fareed Zakaria in his latest book. According to him, similar shocks will continue to come. He brings ten lessons for the post-pandemic future into the public debate, along with a readable overview of a world we are not yet prepared for. The author points out that the current world was undergoing many changes and crises even before the coronavirus, from the rise of an increasingly aggressive China, which is immune to democracy and freedom, to America's withdrawal into itself, rising inequality, and the emergence of populisms of both ideological hues, as well as the rapid advance of unpredictable technologies and the threat of climate change. In this sense, Zakaria argues that the pandemic acts as a catalyst. Many trends will accelerate with its contribution, and it may lead to solutions for accumulated problems.
