Since the end
of the Cold War, the world has been shaken to its core three times. September 11,
2001, the financial collapse of 2008 and — most of all — COVID-19. Each was an
asymmetric threat, set in motion by something seemingly small, and different
from anything the world had experienced before. Lenin is supposed to have said, “There
are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.” This is one of
those times when history has sped up.

In “Ten
Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World”, Fareed Zakaria, one of the “top 10
global thinkers of the last decade” (Foreign Policy), foresees the nature of a
post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological, and economic
consequences that may take years to unfold.
In ten surprising, hopeful
“lessons”, he writes about the acceleration of natural and biological risks,
the obsolescence of the old political categories of right and left, the rise of
“digital life”, the future of globalization and an emerging world order split
between the US and China. He
invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community
embedded in our nature, and, above all, the degree to which nothing is written
— the future is truly in our own hands.
