Purchase options and add-ons

"COVID-19: The Great Reset" is a guide for anyone who wants to understand how COVID-19 disrupted our social and economic systems, and what changes will be needed to create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward. Klaus Schwab, founder and executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, and Thierry Malleret, founder of the Monthly Barometer, explore what the root causes of these crisis were, and why they lead to a need for a Great Reset.Theirs is a worrying, yet hopeful analysis. COVID-19 has created a great disruptive reset of our global social, economic, and political systems. But the power of human beings lies in being foresighted and having the ingenuity, at least to a certain extent, to take their destiny into their hands and to plan for a better future. This is the purpose of this book: to shake up and to show the deficiencies which were manifest in our global system, even before COVID broke out."Erudite, thought-provoking and plausible" -- Hans van Leeuwen, Australian Financial Review (Australia)"The book looks ahead to what the post-coronavirus world could look like barely four months after the outbreak was first declared a pandemic" -- Sam Meredith, CNBC (USA) "The message that the pandemic is not only a crisis of enormous proportions, but that it also provides an opportunity for humanity to reflect on how it can do things differently, is important and merits reflection"-- Ricardo Avila, Portafolio (Colombia) "A call for political change in the post-pandemic world"-- Ivonne Martinez, La Razon (Mexico)"History has shown, the book argues, that pandemics are a force for radical and lasting change"-- Mustafa Alrawi, The National (UAE)

You may or may not find this book a good read, but it is not, as the one star reviews state, "Brain-washing" or an "Awful prediction for the future of the human race" or "Tripe". It is simply a book about alternative directions that we could take. I found it to be a good read. The reaction from the one stars reviewers merely reinforce the argument that we need to take a more caring, less greedy path.

A delusional book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2020

Verified Purchase

This book explores the current global scenario and discusses what the future might hold for us. We are told we are at a crossroads, one path will take us to a better world, the other will be similar to what we left behind but worse. With a nod to religion (heaven or hell), it is obvious we are supposed to choose the path laid out for us. The authors erroneously suggest that the pandemic has dramatically torn up the existing script of how to govern countries, live with others and take part in the global economy. They tell us that the spread of infectious diseases has a unique ability to fuel fear, anxiety and mass hysteria. To push home this point, the word 'fear' is mentioned 31 times in the book. I don't doubt that there are sections of society who are worried but I fail to sense the emotional carnage that the authors' describe. Things, they say, will never return to normal but a few pages later suggest that a vaccine, and enough people being vaccinated, will enable us to return to normal. Are warning bells ringing with you? They are with me. The use of selective quotes to spread fear and social unrest, promoting the view that we are heading into chaos and uncertainty, is highly irresponsible. The authors claim a failure of global governance and leadership over Covid-19 and that people now feel the time ripe for reinvention. Presumably this is where The Great Reset comes in. All well and good but I'd like to know who these people are? Prince Charles? Tony Blair?

To truly understand the message of the book, you have to know about the authors. Klaus Schwab is an economist, engineer and founder and Executive Chairman of the WEF. The WEF is an elite global non-governmental organisation based in Switzerland committed to shaping a better global future. Thierry Malleret is Managing Partner of the Monthly Barometer (for top-level business and investors) and previously founder and head of the Global Risk Network at the WEF, investment banker and economist. WEF attracts the wealthy and the powerful including those from business, politics, charity and academia, as well as celebrities and activists. Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minster, banned ministers from attending the last WEF meeting at Davos in January 2020 to focus on the people and not on champagne with billionaires. He once told the BBC that Davos was "a great big constellation of egos involved in massive mutual orgies of adulation".

Little things annoyed me about the book such as no Chapter listings at the beginning of the Kindle version giving the impression of a long rambling essay. References to films and novels, e.g. 'The Plague' by Albert Camus, were singularly unhelpful. More serious references often failed to tell the whole story. For example, one stated that most (65%) of the world agreed that: 'In the economic recovery after Covid-19, it's important that government actions prioritize climate change'. I find it difficult to understand how a survey of 28,029 people out of a global population of 7.8 billion can be a fair representation of global opinion. Also, what wasn't mentioned was that nearly half (44%) wanted action taken to help the economy recover even if it was bad for the environment. The misinformation continued with the blanket claim that working at home is climate friendly when this is only the case in the summer. Research shows a typical British commuter working at home all year round would have a carbon footprint that is 80% higher than the average office worker (WSP, 2020). For all the talk about global economics and finance, there is much missing. No mention of the implications of the dollar coming off the gold standard in 1971. No mention of Bitcoin, a well-established global digital currency, available to all. The truth about global finance cannot be found here. It can really only be found with people like Mike Maloney and James Rickards. As for climate change and the environment, there is no mention of the green washing which has inveigled its way into every facet of our lives. Recycling has spectacularly failed the world over. The devastation of the natural environment, and the death and displacement of wildlife, caused by global wind farm development is one of the most appalling crimes of the century and continues unabated. Fourteen million trees have been felled for wind farms in Scotland alone. This is the tip of the iceberg. The world is being systematically destroyed by 'green' energy development. Climate change is big business and the authors of the book are using it as leverage to push for global control.

I would have liked to have seen less self-citation from Schwab, the WEF and to a lesser extent Malleret. Referencing a book with your previous work is not a crime but doesn't sit well with a lot of people. The rhetoric regarding Covid-19, providing the opportunity for a fairer greener future where wealth will be distributed from the rich to the poor, is laughable. Members of WEF and attendees of Davos are some of the most powerful in society, mega corporations who control and shape us, they are the elite, Royalty, the bankers of the world, the cream of the crop. Presumably, these are the people we are supposed to be handing over global governance to. You would have to be seriously deluded to think that any of them will give up their wealth. In addition, they have had plenty of time to make a fairer, more eco-friendly, world but their track record speaks for itself. I fail to see any reason why we should put any faith in them and this book hasn't changed my mind. The WEF is an exclusive club and, by its very nature, excludes the majority of the citizens of the world. It's real aim is global control of the billions of ordinary people and the destruction of nation states. In other words, the imposition of a totalitarian government. The Great Reset is a sham of epic proportions. Read this book with extreme caution. It is a Trojan horse.

As we all sit at home with our well washed hands, knowing that the world post-Covid will be different, but not sure how....this book really drives home the very real options facing the global community. Covid has united us against an invisible enemy, but it’s legacy is up to us, our politicians and world leaders to define. A compelling thought provoking read.

Not that I am a one to use so called conspiracy theories but by reading this hard copy of the Great Reset I can at least quote the source of certain of my beliefs, so to speak. Mr. Schwab is so pleased with himself, for sure. He is delighted that there is a pandemic, for as according to him, history shows that past pandemics were always followed by resets; and who better to design the much needed reset other than his good self. He reminds me of a child who has not only convinced his parents to buy him an icecream but also the chocolate stick too.

A well educated man but so full of his own value it's frightening. Other than that I found the book boring to read; although the topic headings did follow through as per his intentions.

Makes sense if you hold your mouth just right

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2023

Verified Purchase

This is a tough book for me to review for two reasons: 1) it covers an awful lot of ground, and 2) I found so much to take issue with that I've almost been paralysed in how to write a review.

I'm opting for a shorter approach as I don't think anyone is well served by reading me arguing innumerable points that I have problems with.

First off, I have to say that this book is notable in that the breadth of the subject matter is quite impressive and it often exhibits some internal consistency (but not always: for example, why are lockdowns good for slowing viral spread but closing borders bad?). In fact, it almost seems unbelievable that such a complex work could be constructed within six months of the emergence of the virus, and even less time from when the pandemic was declared, though that term features hugely in the text.

But if I was to provide an overall impression, it would be the one that is reflected in my title for this review: if everything lines up *just right* then it makes a kind of sense. But I find myself doubtful of so many of the arguments that are made for its positions that just too many things have to be lined up for it to hold water overall.

I got the Kindle version, and every time I sat down I promised myself that I was just going to read it and not take any notes. And every time, *every single time*, something that sounded outrageous would be claimed/stated that I wound up taking note after note, as if I was actually going to go back and write a detailed critique of the thing. It got on my nerves that much. By page 160 I'd written over 150 notes; that says a lot to me as to how to think about the claims made in this book.

Among the fundamental flaws here are the ways the authors try to analogise their subject matter, in particular in how they try to find see echoes of quantum effects with the interconnectedness of the world. There are many aspects of this that don't fit well and make it a poor analogue for basing argument. I would instead suggest the world is better informed by chaos science, where small changes in one place can produce large and unpredictable changes elsewhere. If this is a better model for the world than quantum science, then any given prediction of how to change some variable in the system has very low chance of producing an expected and desired outcome, and leaves one even less sure that large-scale changes won't have unintended consequences.

The book also hasn't aged very well in my opinion, in particular on some of the assumptions that it makes early on about what "good" looks like, or assumptions made regarding the origin of the virus. There's a lot of new information that calls into question things like the virus's origin, the efficacy of treatments, and the desirability of various responses. I recognise that hindsight has unique benefits, but in truth there were plenty of voices calling out of differing views on all of this early on, but they appeared to have been systematically silenced in the service of "the common good", although in retrospect many of these views have turned out to be spot on.

I'm aware of this book's position in the minds of folks who like to "connect the dots" as the blueprint for a new world order. I like data and evidence more, but at the same time I don't want to just sweep everything else away as merely coincidence. In a way, the book is guilty of a similar connect the dots mentality-- it isn't hard to think that the conclusion significantly predated the arguments, and the data was selected to fit the desired outcome, which would go a long way to explaining why I found so much objectionable. So it is worthy of consideration just to add to your overall picture of how the world could progress. But don't be surprised if you find yourself annoyed at a lot of what you read.

Mass manipulation

Reviewed in Mexico on 27 September 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is full of euphemisms, a total delusion. What the Great Reset really means is another fascist experiment being pushed by controlling elitists. The COVID-19 pandemic has emboldened the forces behind the Great Reset to achieve their centrally planned vision: monitoring, planning, censoring, crushing dissent, controlling the lives of the masses for our “safety”; all in the name of “The Science.” The very real threat of oppressive rule by unelected experts in government is now threatening to engulf the world in the wake of the COVID lockdowns, “phased re-openings,” vaccine passports, contact tracing, mask mandates, capacity limits, bans on church services and social gatherings, stay-at-home orders, and travel restrictions. Citizens of once-free Western democracies face limits on where and when they could go out—subject to the whims of government bureaucrats. These drastic limits on our liberties were put in place largely without legislative votes or public hearings. In addition, climate-inspired energy regulations, massive government spending, supply chain issues, food shortages, debt, out-of-control crime in major cities, spiraling inflation, wars, and economic “degrowth” all helped create the perfect pandemonium to empower the forces of the Great Reset.
“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” That is the utopian vision of the WEF and its founder Klaus Schwab. “Whatever you want you’ll rent and it’ll be delivered by drone.” Meat will be “an occasional treat,” the WEF prognosticated in a 2016 video (which has since been deleted from their website). The WEF chose the year 2030 as the date by which their vision will be imposed on the world. “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better,” said a 2017 tweet from the WEF.

Confusing

Reviewed in Canada on 11 March 2023

The book itself is not very hard to read at all. It's not hard to understand either. The biggest challenge that I experience with this book is that so many people make up conspiracy theories about what's in the book and then an equal amount of people pretend that the book doesn't even exist.

I had friends tell me that the existence of this book was nothing more than a conspiracy theory and that their impression of me was lower because I was apparently buying into it. I actually picked up my copy of the physical book and took it to them and I said here here's the actual book written by the guy who you said never wrote the book. It was mind-blowing to see the reactions and how they still denied the existence of the book even though I had the physical copy in my hands.

The other people going on about conspiracy theories about what's in the book, they were angry at me that I actually read the book. They were making up stuff about what's in the book and when I read through it it just wasn't in the book at all. I would point out to them how it isn't in the actual book and they were literally making stuff up but none of them would even listen to a single thing I had to say. They assumed that I was simply making everything up and accused me of being a sheep and all these other horrible things because I bought the book to find out what was in it.

In solidarity with other readers who have given this sinister book five stars, I'll do the same.

Underlying the whole premise of this weird book is that the virus did it to us: all the suffering and economic destruction were caused by the virus. This isn't true at all. All the suffering was caused by our response to the virus. Sweden proves this point. South Dakota, Florida, and Texas do as well.

Instead of practicing a policy of least harm wherein the most vulnerable were looked after, what we did instead was harm everyone, including and especially our children, by pretending that this disease was going to kill everyone. The authors insist that an alternative policy of "focused protection" was one of sacrificing a few so that we could save the economy, but they know full well that no one who advocated such a view was in favor of sacrificing anyone: the point, which the authors are too enchanted with their grandiose "reset" vision to see, was/is to do the least harm by focusing on the most vulnerable: those are the ones who had to "stay home, stay safe," and since many of these people were retired anyhow, for many this wasn't a problem. For those without the means to stay safe or who felt too afraid to participate in society (even if they were young and healthy) then the proper role of government would have been to seek out these people and lend them aid. This would have been at far less cost than the regulations, bailouts, etc., that took place instead.

The authors give precious little time to quaint ideas like liberty and freedom, although I supposed they might in the chapters on "Individual Reset." I was mistaken. They talk about individual mental health, creativity, consumption, well-being, but not about how installing a medical police state-- which is exactly what happened throughout the world-- damages the very ideals and aspirations of people all around the world who believe that our greatest good isn't that the state tells us what to do, but that we are always, to the greatest extent possible, masters and deciders of our own fates. The Great Reset folks don't want that. At bottom, their vision is one of a collectivist "we're all in this together" mindset wherein we all pull for a greater good (which greater good the authors conveniently sketch out for us) and it doesn't include individual self-determination except within the restricted bounds that Schwab and Mallerret outline for us. Authentic self-determination would be "selfish," you see.

I can only hope that in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we'll say a polite "no, thank you" to Schwab and friends and tell them to go elsewhere with their utopian scheme. And no, many of us don't believe that CO2 warming is sound science, so I guess we're not "all in this together" on that one, either. Tsk, tsk ... we're the ones who'll have to be monitored and policed for the greater good of all, in a great reset dystopia. Slippery slope that one, or no? Who gets to decide what the "proper" outlook should be, for the greater good of all, and who would have to be monitored and controlled for the good of the collectivist whole?

Klaus and Thierry, my reply to you is,

Stay safe re-set: stay free.
