Maja Goepel: We Can Do Better [2024] paperback

World-leading political economist Maja Goepel shows us how we can set the course for the future in times of upheaval, and why this concerns us all.

The way we live is changing fundamentally. The status quo is crumbling, but there is still reason to hope. Drawing on the latest scientific research, Maja Goepel distils complex developments across the environment, the economy, politics, society, and technology, and reveals how we can use this knowledge for a better world.

Great transformations in history were triggered by humans, and our window to the future is as open as never before. It is time that we - each of us individually, but also society as a whole - allowed ourselves to think anew, to dream, and to ask a radical question: who do we want to be?

After her previous book, Rethinking Our World, eloquently untangled the chaotic world we live in, Maja Goepel now gives readers the tools and motivation needed to build the world we want to live in.
