A few governments proved adept at handling the crisis while many others failed. Are Western governments healthy and strong enough to keep their citizens safe from another virulent virus--and protect their economies from collapse? Is global leadership passing from the United States to Asia--and particularly China? </p><p><em>The Wake-Up Call </em>addresses these urgent questions. Journalists and longtime collaborators John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge identify the problems Western leaders face, and outline a detailed plan to help them become more vigilant, better prepared, and responsive to disruptive future events. </p><p>The problems that face us are enormous; as <em>The Wake-Up Call</em> makes clear, governments around the world must re-engineer the way they operate to successfully meet the challenges ahead. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[An] executive summary of modern political history studded with sweeping assertions and telling anecdotes.--The New York Times Book Review<br><br>A shot in the arm...powerful."--The Financial Times<br><br>A readable and fascinating excursion.--The Economist<br><br>A succinct and credible assessment of Western government dysfunctions.--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>Thought-provoking.--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>With their customary wit and insight, John Mickethwait and Adrian Wooldridge offer a fresh take on an old theme: the decline of the West. <em>The Wake-Up Call</em> argues that Covid-19 has exposed not just one president's shortcomings but a much more profound degeneration of governance dating back long before 2016. Can the United States and whatever else remains of "the West" repair their broken systems sufficiently to compete with East Asia's alternatives? And who exactly is Bill Lincoln? You will read no more interesting book on the political consequences of the pandemic than this.--Niall Ferguson, author of <em>Civilization: The West and the Rest</em><br><br>COVID-19 was a wake-up call for the West - especially the United States. Micklethwait and Wooldridge offer a masterful analysis of Western failure, and a clear program for the future. --Anne Applebaum<br>
