Summary
An optimistic vision of the future after Covid-19 by a leading professor of globalisation at the University of Oxford.
We are at a crossroads. The wrecking-ball of Covid-19 has destroyed global norms. Many think that after the devastation there will be a bounce back. To Ian Goldin, Professor of Development and Globalisation at the University of Oxford, this is a retrograde notion.
He believes that this crisis can create opportunities for change, just as the Second World War forged the ideas behind the Beveridge Report. Published in 1942, it was revolutionary and laid the foundations for the welfare state alongside a host of other social and economic reforms, changing the world for the better.
Ian Goldin tackles the challenges and opportunities posed by the pandemic, ranging from globalisation to the future of jobs, income inequality and geopolitics, the climate crisis and the modern city. It is a fresh, bold call for an optimistic future and one we all have the power to create.

A socialists guide to “fix what ain’t broke”
Ian is a very bright man- unfortunately with most gifted people their slant tends toward the far left.
Ian obviously does not understand that money needs to be made by the capitalists chasing individual achievement, that is what has progressed societies in general. Ian has the view that african communal philosophy trumps the Greco centric model for individualism. This is baffling. Just look at all of Africa compared to all of the countries in the west. At times painful listening due to the obvious communist undertones but some good points made in general about things not politically oriented.
