We and the Coronavirus

The book brings together essays by leading global thinkers — including Gordon Brown, Yuval Noah Harari, Anne Applebaum, and Zygmunt Bauman — to explore the profound impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. This first special edition examines the global history of pandemics, the vulnerabilities of populism, the shock to world economies, and the contagious power of fear. Through international perspectives, the collection argues that only cooperation and trust between communities and nations can shape a shared post-Covid future.
