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.

"Ensamhetens århundrade är en fantastisk bok som berör oss alla! --- Boken vänder sig till alla som formar våra liv"BTJ

"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.
