Post Corona
Post Corona: From Crisis to Opportunity | Scott Galloway
27 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
From bestselling author and NYU Business School professor Scott Galloway comes a keenly insightful, urgent analysis of who stands to win and who's at risk to lose 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 home exercise company Peloton, video conference software maker Zoom, and Amazon--woke up to find themselves crushed under an avalanche of consumer demand. Others--like the restaurant, travel, hospitality, and live entertainment industries--scrambled to escape obliteration. But as New York Times bestselling author Scott Galloway argues, the pandemic has not been a change agent so much as an accelerant of trends already well underway. In Post Corona, he outlines the contours of the crisis and the opportunities that lie ahead. Some businesses, like the powerful tech monopolies, will thrive as a result of the disruption. Other industries, like higher education, will struggle to maintain a value proposition that no longer makes sense when we can't stand shoulder to shoulder. And the pandemic has accelerated deeper trends in government and society, exposing a widening gap between our vision of America as a land of opportunity, and the troubling realities of our declining wellbeing. Combining his signature humor and brash style with sharp business insights and the occasional dose of righteous anger, Galloway offers both warning and hope in equal measure. As he writes, "Our commonwealth didn't just happen, it was shaped. We chose this path--no trend is permanent and can't be made worse or corrected."

Mehso-so

This book was more of a rant against current tax codes and the shrinking middle class, all of which I agree with, but didn‘t seem to have any solutions for post corona.

Pickpick

I never heard of Scott Galloway until I recently saw him on Real Time With Bill Maher. I loved everything he was saying, so I decided to read his book. It focused a little too much on business--a genre I don't particularly care for--but he redeemed himself by the end by focusing more on everyday people. This is between a So-So and a Pick for me, while leaning more toward a Pick. If I liked Business books more, it would definitely be a Pick.

We've exploded the debt so rich people pay less tax. Money is the transfer of work and time, and we've decided our kids will need to work more in the future, and spend less time with their families, so wealthy people can pay lower taxes today.

People who take their own life are eight times more likely than average to be in debt. For every 100 points your credit score increases, your risk of dying in the next three months declines by 4.4%. In the U.S., money is literally life.

Most recently, a group of protesters built a guillotine outside the Manhattan home of Jeff Bezos to commemorate his wealth passing $200 billion.
