Features: This is not a book that discusses globalization in the traditional sense. In fact, the author Richard is probably more the term "globalization" than anyone else. As a senior official at the World Bank, the author has had the opportunity to focus on and discuss global issues with leaders from around the world, gradually forming a unique perspective based on extensive observation and analysis. At least from the arguments he provides, even if we find it difficult to fully agree with his views, it is hard to avoid the concerns about the major issues that will arise in the next 20 years. To some extent, the facts he mentions keep reappearing around us: wars over resources, the spread of infectious diseases due to population explosion and the destruction of harmonious nature, the rampant international terrorism, the abuse of drugs and toxins—among the solutions proposed by the author, there are many unconventional ideas, and there are many things behind his bold concepts that deserve our attention and listening.
