Full Description

In this book, economist Orhan Erdem breaks down key social insights from COVID-19 and other pandemics throughout human history. It explores the myriad ways that a global pandemic impacts social structures and communities.

Drawing on examples throughout human history, the book highlights the key insights researchers have gathered and what the public can do to prevent the same disruptive responses in the future. The chapters explore core aspects of social life: healthcare, politics, education, community, and technology. Building on stories from literature and lived experience, the book offers a narrative exploration of how a pandemic's aftershocks reshape social life, educational systems, public policy, technology, and economies.
