Are We Truly In This Together?

“There are decades when nothing happens; and there are weeks when decades happen.” — Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

2020 was an unexpectedly tough year. We are in this together; yet we are not all effected in the same way. Global inequality — income gap between rich and poor countries — has widened in 2020. As 2021 brings hope, one can wonder how a post-pandemic world would be socially, politically, economically, and technologically.

“Ten Lessons For A Post-Pandemic World” by CNN host and best-selling author, Fareed Zakaria, is an insightful guidebook that paints an international picture of a post-pandemic world. Globalization is not dead, even if COVID-19 has encouraged nations to turn inwards, Zakaria states. Important topics on the rise of digital economy, pros and cons of remote work, much-needed international corporation, US-China relations, social interactions, and climate change are discussed in the book. Readers can get both realistic and optimistic facts from the book. It is important to note that this book is NOT about a pandemic, but a book about a world after a pandemic. Zakaria writes post-pandemic life will be different for countries, companies, and especially individuals. How individuals will experience different post-pandemic life remains to be seen!
