Ten lessons for a post-pandemic world / Fareed Zakaria.

Zakaria, Fareed, (author.).

Summary:

"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 ... Fareed Zakaria helps readers to understand the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological, and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. Written in the form of ten 'lessons,' covering topics from natural and biological risks to the rise of 'digital life' to an emerging bipolar world order, Zakaria helps readers to begin thinking beyond the immediate effects of COVID-19." -- Provided by publisher.
