The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed that governments matter again, that competent leadership is the difference between living and dying. A few governments proved adept at handling the crisis while many others failed. Are Western governments healthy and strong enough to keep their citizens safe from another virulent virus—and protect their economies from collapse? Is global leadership passing from the United States to Asia& #8212;and particularly China? The Wake-Up Call addresses these urgent questions. Journalists and longtime collaborators John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge identify the problems Western leaders face, and outline a detailed plan to help them become more vigilant, better prepared, and responsive to disruptive future events. The problems that face us are enormous; as The Wake-Up Call makes clear, governments around the world must re- engineer the way they operate to successfully meet the challenges ahead. 538 Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 125724 KB). 650 7 Politics.|2OverDrive 650 7 Sociology.|2OverDrive 650 17 Nonfiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic audiobooks.|2local 700 1 Thomas, Kristin Scott. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/5546995 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=c984f618- a48a-414a-9699-5bcf4d32c8fd&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0293-1/ %7BC984F618-A48A-414A-9699-5BCF4D32C8FD%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0293-1/ %7BC984F618-A48A-414A-9699-5BCF4D32C8FD%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
