Post Corona: From Crisis to Opportunity

The New York Times bestselling author of The Four and NYU Business School professor delivers an insightful, urgent analysis of the winners and losers in a post-pandemic world.

The Covid-19 outbreak has turned bedrooms into offices, pitted young against old and widened the gaps between rich and poor, red and blue, the mask-wearers and the mask-haters. Some businesses, like Amazon and video conference software maker Zoom, woke up to find themselves crushed under an avalanche of consumer demand. Others, like the restaurant, travel, hospitality and live entertainment industries, scrambled to not become instantly obsolete. But the pandemic has not been a change agent so much as an accelerant of trends that were already underway. In Post Corona, Galloway outlines the contours of both crisis and opportunity that lie ahead. While the powerful tech monopolies will thrive in the disruption, other businesses, like higher education, will struggle to maintain a value proposition that no longer makes sense when we can’t stand shoulder to shoulder. Combining his signature humour and brash style with razor-sharp business insights, Galloway offers warning and hope in equal measure.
