Abstract:"In this urgent, beautifully crafted essay, Micklethwait and Wooldridge explain how we ended up in this mess [i.e., the COVID-19 pandemic] and explore the possible routes out of it. They show how Western governments could still combine the best lessons from history with the full potential of technology to reverse this decline. But they also serve warning that if the West continues to turn away from modernity and progress, the prospect of a new Eastern-dominated world order will become almost inevitable."--Front jacket
