The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over, but even as governments around the world strive to put it behind us, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this?Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and in this book he lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another disaster like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world's foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, he first makes us understand the science of corona diseases. Then he helps us understand how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, can not only ward off another COVID-like catastrophe but also go far to eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu.Here is a clarion call - strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance - from one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists.

'An eye-opening, deeply disturbing, fast-moving journey through the lives, homes and affairs of the filthy rich of London' Danny Dorling'Fascinating, punchy, thought-provoking. Serious Money exposes the corrosive impact of London's super rich on our economy, society and politics, and comprehensively busts the myth that their wealth trickles down to the rest of us' Frances O'GradyLondon is a plutocrat's paradise, with more resident billionaires than New York, Hong Kong or Moscow. Far from trickling down, their wealth is burning up the environment and swallowing up the city. But what do we really know about London's super rich, and the lives they lead?To find out more about this secretive, security-heavy elite, sociologist Caroline Knowles walks the streets of London from the City to suburban Surrey, via Kensington, Notting Hill, Mayfair and elsewhere. Her walks reveal how the wealthy shape the capital in their image, creating a new world of gated communities and luxury developments. A move behind closed doors takes us ever further into the dark heart of the plutocratic city, from multimillion-pound mansions to high-end hotels and gentlemen's clubs. Along the way we meet a wide and wickedly entertaining cast of millionaires, billionaires and those who serve them: bankers, aristocrats, tech tycoons, Conservative party donors, butlers, bodyguards, divorce lawyers and many, many more.By turns jaw-dropping, enraging and enlightening, Serious Money explodes the fiction that wealth is a condition to aspire to, revealing the isolation and paranoia which accompany it when the plutocrat's recompense - a life of unlimited luxury - ultimately proves hollow. It is a powerful reminder us that it is not just the super-rich who get to make the city: we make it too, and could demand something different. Because serious money is good for no one - not even the rich.'Magnificent ... Knowles writes with enviable lightness and pace about how money, property, birth, breeding, contacts, secrecy, and servants have created a class that owns and milks London, a world away from the city's ordinary citizens' Professor Ash Amin, author of Seeing Like a City

Thinking beyond pandemic capitalism

Med fokus på succesfulde millionvirksomheder, som ikke i forvejen er de mest kendte og velbeskrevne i den bredere offentlighed, har Gert Rune talt med ejere og nøglemedarbejdere hos virksomheder, der har vækstet de sidste ti år, og forsøgt at finde frem til formlen for deres succes.I vidt forskellige brancher drejer det sig om iværksættere med en helt særlig passion for deres produkt. De elsker konkurrence, kæmper for at vinde og nægter at give op. Det er ledere og medarbejdere som er risikovillige, omstillingsparate og har fokus på innovation, kundebehov og medarbejderpleje. De får implementeret og eksekveret deres handleplaner med kreative løsninger, tænkt anderledes længere end de fleste, og de giver deres kunder mere, end de forventer.Ledere og ejerledere i SMV’er har brug for rollemodeller, for daglig ledelse i en SMV er langt fra de bonede gulve i de store virksomheder, og Gert Runes vision med bogen er at levere indsigt og inspiration, der kan skabe vækst, velfærd og arbejdspladser i SMV-Danmark.Bogen er skrevet af Gert Rune i samarbejde med forfatter Dennis Drejer, der blandt mange titler har lagt pen til Jæger – i krig med eliten om Thomas Rathsack og Jeg dør kun en gang om Dennis Knudsen. Gert Rune er iværksætter, konsulent og foredragsholder og har en passion for at motivere sine medmennesker til at nå deres mål. Med sin baggrund som bankmand, Mærsk-ansat og virksomhedsejer har han draget landet rundt og været på besøg hos diverse branchevindere blandt virksomheder (SMV), som har formået at vækste. Gert Rune har de seneste 12 år holdt mere end 700 foredrag og workshops i over 200 virksomheder. Han er den første etbenede dansker, der gennemførte en ironman – den fortælling er udgivet i selvbiografien Fra knoglekræft til ironman.

33 Perspectives on the future of cash from a political, economic and philosophical viewpoint Over the past 20 years, euro cash has become a tangible symbol of economic integration and cohesion in Europe. It stands for stability and trust, especially in times of crisis. However, a look ahead at what the future holds for Europe's single currency suggests there are some specific challenges looming. For example, the new forms of payment and so-called cryptocurrencies that the digital turn has ushered in have cast fundamental doubt on the status of cash and government-issued currencies. The authors of this book provide a nuanced overview of the topic by looking at multiple aspects of money and currency from different angles. This affords a new sense of perspective in the often vehement debate over the future of our money. With essays by Otmar Issing, Clemens Fuest, Hans-Jürgen Papier, Peter Sloterdijk, Barry Eichengreen, Viviana Zelizer and Gaspard Koenig. Ausstattung: mit zahlreichen farbigen Abbildungen

Climate change has become one of the most significant challenges humanity faces. Asgreenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, not only will natural disasters strike considerablymore frequently and severely, but whole swaths of land will become uninhabitableand infertile as farmland. It is apparent that long-term approaches like reaching net-zerowith new technologies are important, but so are short-term measures to avoid tippingpoints and passing points of no return. The transport sector accounts for nearly a quarter(23%) of energy related-emissions, and 40-60% of these transport-related emissionsstem from commuting and business traveling. One short-term approach to lower transportemissions is ridesharing: When two or more commuters team up, significant emissionscan be saved. As a result, business trip ridesharing (BTRS), the sharing of individualvehicles for commuting and business trips among employees, has gained increased attentionfrom organizations and academia alike. BTRS shares similar adoption challengeslike ridesharing and shared-mobility overall: From individuals' prevalence to solving thematching and allocation problem of shared resources. This thesis investigates the role that Green Information Systems (Green IS) can play tosupport BTRS adoption.
