"COVID-19: The Great Reset" is a guide for anyone who wants to understand how COVID-19 disrupted our social and economic systems, and what changes will be needed to create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward. Klaus Schwab, founder and executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, and Thierry Malleret, founder of the Monthly Barometer, explore what the root causes of these crisis were, and why they lead to a need for a Great Reset.Theirs is a worrying, yet hopeful analysis. COVID-19 has created a great disruptive reset of our global social, economic, and political systems. But the power of human beings lies in being foresighted and having the ingenuity, at least to a certain extent, to take their destiny into their hands and to plan for a better future. This is the purpose of this book: to shake up and to show the deficiencies which were manifest in our global system, even before COVID broke out."Erudite, thought-provoking and plausible" -- Hans van Leeuwen, Australian Financial Review (Australia)"The book looks ahead to what the post-coronavirus world could look like barely four months after the outbreak was first declared a pandemic" -- Sam Meredith, CNBC (USA) "The message that the pandemic is not only a crisis of enormous proportions, but that it also provides an opportunity for humanity to reflect on how it can do things differently, is important and merits reflection"-- Ricardo Avila, Portafolio (Colombia) "A call for political change in the post-pandemic world"-- Ivonne Martinez, La Razon (Mexico)"History has shown, the book argues, that pandemics are a force for radical and lasting change"-- Mustafa Alrawi, The National (UAE)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Professor Klaus Schwab (1938, Ravensburg, Germany) is the Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum. In 1971, he published Modern Enterprise Management in Mechanical Engineering. He argues in that book that a company must serve not only shareholders but all stakeholders to achieve long-term growth and prosperity. To promote the stakeholder concept, he founded the World Economic Forum the same year.
Professor Schwab holds doctorates in Economics (University of Fribourg) and in Engineering (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and obtained a master’s degree in Public Administration (MPA) from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. In 1972, in addition to his leadership role at the Forum, he became a professor at the University of Geneva. He has since received numerous international and national honours, including 17 honorary doctorates. His latest books are The Great Narrative (2022), Stakeholder Capitalism (2021), The Great Reset (2020), Shaping the Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (2018), and The Fourth Industrial Revolution (2016).

In solidarity with other readers who have given this sinister book five stars, I'll do the same.

Underlying the whole premise of this weird book is that the virus did it to us: all the suffering and economic destruction were caused by the virus. This isn't true at all. All the suffering was caused by our response to the virus. Sweden proves this point. South Dakota, Florida, and Texas do as well.

Instead of practicing a policy of least harm wherein the most vulnerable were looked after, what we did instead was harm everyone, including and especially our children, by pretending that this disease was going to kill everyone. The authors insist that an alternative policy of "focused protection" was one of sacrificing a few so that we could save the economy, but they know full well that no one who advocated such a view was in favor of sacrificing anyone: the point, which the authors are too enchanted with their grandiose "reset" vision to see, was/is to do the least harm by focusing on the most vulnerable: those are the ones who had to "stay home, stay safe," and since many of these people were retired anyhow, for many this wasn't a problem. For those without the means to stay safe or who felt too afraid to participate in society (even if they were young and healthy) then the proper role of government would have been to seek out these people and lend them aid. This would have been at far less cost than the regulations, bailouts, etc., that took place instead.

The authors give precious little time to quaint ideas like liberty and freedom, although I supposed they might in the chapters on "Individual Reset." I was mistaken. They talk about individual mental health, creativity, consumption, well-being, but not about how installing a medical police state-- which is exactly what happened throughout the world-- damages the very ideals and aspirations of people all around the world who believe that our greatest good isn't that the state tells us what to do, but that we are always, to the greatest extent possible, masters and deciders of our own fates. The Great Reset folks don't want that. At bottom, their vision is one of a collectivist "we're all in this together" mindset wherein we all pull for a greater good (which greater good the authors conveniently sketch out for us) and it doesn't include individual self-determination except within the restricted bounds that Schwab and Mallerret outline for us. Authentic self-determination would be "selfish," you see.

I can only hope that in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we'll say a polite "no, thank you" to Schwab and friends and tell them to go elsewhere with their utopian scheme. And no, many of us don't believe that CO2 warming is sound science, so I guess we're not "all in this together" on that one, either. Tsk, tsk ... we're the ones who'll have to be monitored and policed for the greater good of all, in a great reset dystopia. Slippery slope that one, or no? Who gets to decide what the "proper" outlook should be, for the greater good of all, and who would have to be monitored and controlled for the good of the collectivist whole?

Klaus and Thierry, my reply to you is,

Stay safe re-set: stay free.

I great view of how the world is changing
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
A sociological journey into the changing world we live in. Klaus Schwab and Thierry Malleret explore changing concepts in the world leading up to the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people may be quick to attack the messenger, but both of these point out many changing technological dynamics that are carving out our future into what is referred to as "The Great Reset," and with how quickly AI and automation have advanced, we're not stopping this roller coaster anytime soon. One of the biggest pushes that catch criticism from the media is that they bring up radical ideas such as social warfare for the working class and social justice that allow opportunities to expand beyond the hands of the few. They dive into how everyone should have a living wage and have the opportunity to find value in the world we live in. Much of this criticism may also come from their attacks on major corporations that are incentivized by profit instead of the betterment of humanity and should be held accountable for the impact they have on carelessly destroying the world we share as a means for hoarding more resources. They encourage us to shift away from this consumer mentality that has made us wasteful and encourage more reusable processes. He dives into odd concepts, such as how some areas in Africa have explored mosquito burgers and how many countries view eating insects as a luxury, which has led to the attack of people claiming they want us to eat bugs. Overall I found this sociological exploration quite the journey and appreciate them taking the time to share these changing concepts with us. The truth is many of the things we own don't make us happy, but a world where don't work just to pay bills and rent but have the opportunity to be creative and explore our passions seems like something the working class would appreciate a billionaire encouraging others to get on board with instead of all the anger that has risen from these concepts.

An Exceptional Work of incisive analysis and brilliant prognosis
Reviewed in India on July 19, 2020
Format: KindleVerified Purchase

“COVID-19: The Great Reset” is an exceptional work of incisive analysis and brilliant prognosis of all things related to human life and progress – the right book at the right time. It provides a welcome respite from an avalanche of conflicting news and commentaries, as it deftly separates facts from fiction, with a great sense of balance and equability. With apt references to history, the authors project with realism the possible future scenarios across the entire spectrum of geo-economics, geo-politics, and geo-technology, along with aggravating fault lines and their potential impact on the future of lives and livelihoods.

Schwab and Malleret leave no one in doubt that the human race is facing individually and collectively the most challenging times in over one hundred years. The worth of the book lies in their sincere endeavour to build a strong consensus that this indeed “is the time to re-invent the world.” They call for a “re-calibration of social priorities” to draw the contours of what is possible, while explicitly emphasizing the importance of business community to willingly make the transition to stakeholder capitalism.

The book makes a compelling case to pursue a “path that will take us to better world: more inclusive, more equitable, and more respectful of Mother Nature,” – but leaving no doubt that this would be possible only if we “summon up the better nature of our angels,” and make the right moral choices. This book is a work of great passion, to create a new world, and deserves to be widely read.

Format: KindleVerified Purchase
This book is full of euphemisms, a total delusion. What the Great Reset really means is another fascist experiment being pushed by controlling elitists. The COVID-19 pandemic has emboldened the forces behind the Great Reset to achieve their centrally planned vision: monitoring, planning, censoring, crushing dissent, controlling the lives of the masses for our “safety”; all in the name of “The Science.” The very real threat of oppressive rule by unelected experts in government is now threatening to engulf the world in the wake of the COVID lockdowns, “phased re-openings,” vaccine passports, contact tracing, mask mandates, capacity limits, bans on church services and social gatherings, stay-at-home orders, and travel restrictions. Citizens of once-free Western democracies face limits on where and when they could go out—subject to the whims of government bureaucrats. These drastic limits on our liberties were put in place largely without legislative votes or public hearings. In addition, climate-inspired energy regulations, massive government spending, supply chain issues, food shortages, debt, out-of-control crime in major cities, spiraling inflation, wars, and economic “degrowth” all helped create the perfect pandemonium to empower the forces of the Great Reset.
“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” That is the utopian vision of the WEF and its founder Klaus Schwab. “Whatever you want you’ll rent and it’ll be delivered by drone.” Meat will be “an occasional treat,” the WEF prognosticated in a 2016 video (which has since been deleted from their website). The WEF chose the year 2030 as the date by which their vision will be imposed on the world. “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better,” said a 2017 tweet from the WEF.

Sono in molti ad affermare che nulla sarà più come prima... ma pochi si spingono a fare previsioni sugli scenari che ci aspettano, si leggono spesso affermazioni generiche e luoghi comuni!

Questo libro invece è una vera boccata d'ossigeno, un tuffo nel futuro che ci aspetta!

La suddivisione tra area macro, area micro e livello individuale rende l'analisi ancora più chiara e lucida.

Consiglio fortemente la lettura!!!
