We are bombarded with images of poverty, terrorism, war and collapsing states. Do we ever question what the root cause of these problems might be? Noreena Hertz, one of the world's leading experts on economic globalization, tackles Third World Debt as a situation that must be resolved if we are ever to see global stability.For every $1 the West gives to developing countries in aid, developing countries pay the West $9 in debt service.At the beginning of the new millennium we are witnessing a global debt crisis of unprecedented size. Sub-Saharan Africa owes $200 billion, Brazil $223.8 billion, Argentina $155 billion. Why does this matter? In this shocking, ground-breaking book, Noreena Hertz shows that these numbers matter because they account for millions of people dying of AIDS; for the rainforests being cut down; for poverty, illiteracy, terrorism and war. These numbers matter because they will affect all of our lives if the balance is not redressed.‘IOU’ is a story of avarice but also of vulnerability; of power asymmetries and misuse of influence; of corrupt dictators and careless lenders; of Cold War interests and Wall Street pressure; of third world governments who get given it, and third world people who have no access to it. Noreena Hertz, one of the world's leading experts on economic globalisation, argues that this is not an issue of left or right: it is an issue of right versus wrong, of peace versus war. It must be addressed now.

In a fast-moving world we’re often overloaded with differing opinions, conflicting data and changing advice. In this essential guide, Noreena Hertz offers practical steps to how to make better, smarter decisions.Most of us think we make decisions for the right reasons: we scour books, we talk over options with our friends, we search the internet, we ask experts, we look at data or we trust our guts. But how hard do we scrutinise those we listen to? How much do we interrogate the information they provide? Are we open to new ways of tackling problems? Or are we swayed by how we’ve made decisions in the past?Noreena Hertz reveals the extent to which life-altering, business-affecting, policy-determining, and also health-defining decisions are being made based on partial information, assumed wisdoms, corrupted data and insufficient scrutiny. She provides a clear, practical toolkit for how you can be a smarter decision-maker and better problem-solver. Whether knowing when to trust experts and when to trust the internet or how you can be unconsciously swayed by certain behaviours or phoney stats, this books instructs you how to make better choices and more accurate predictions – through your personal life, your work and all your decisions.

The way we are governed is changing; so is our economy. Government has less and less power to influence how we live our lives, while the private sector has more power than ever to control what we do and what we think. Yet the business pages of the newspapers still come as a supplement, while the activities of governments dominate the front pages and the headlines. To understand the new world in which we are living, we need to learn to challenge long-held assumptions about the nature of power in society; The Silent Takeover is an essential guide to that new understanding as we progress through the 21st century: a time in which we can no longer rely on politicians - of whatever stripe - to meet our needs; a time in which business, rather than political parties, offers the way forward; a time in which we can make more of an impact through our pockets than we have ever done through the ballot box. In the wake of an economic recession, Hertz's eye-opening book reveals much about early 21st century politics and its effects on society.

"Hisnande scener från ensamheten"DN

I Ensamhetens århundrade skildrar Noreena Hertz den växande ensamhetskrisen, hur pandemin förvärrade problemet och vad vi måste göra för att hålla samman i en värld som glider isär.

Känslor av isolering och främlingskap finns över hela världen oavsett ålder, kön, klass och inkomstgrupp. Människor känner sig alltmer frånkopplade – inte bara från varandra utan också från sina politiker, staten och sig själva. I Nederländerna säger 30 procent av de vuxna att de känner sig ensamma. I USA är siffran 40 procent, dubbelt så stor som på 1980-talet. I Tyskland anser två tredjedelar av befolkningen att ensamhet är ett allvarligt problem och i Storbritannien utsågs nyligen en ”ensamhetsminister”.

Noreena Hertz väver samman berättelser om hur olika kulturer reagerar på den växande ensamhetskrisen. Hon berättar om en kurs vid ett toppuniversitet i USA i hur man läser av andra människors ansiktsuttryck, testar på att ”hyra en vän” och rapporterar om den växande trenden med robotar som vårdare på äldreboenden i Japan. Hertz undersöker ensamhet genom en global, vidsträckt lins: från hur vi arbetar till vilken typ av relationer vi har, hon tittar på varför interpersonella färdigheter avtar och på de ekonomiska kostnaderna av ensamhet och de politiska effekterna av isolering. Men mer än så hjälper hon oss att hitta lösningar på problemen.
