Seven Ways to Change the World

In Seven Ways to Change the World, Gordon Brown delves into the pressing global challenges that have been amplified in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The author meticulously outlines seven critical issues that require urgent attention:

• Global health
• Climate change
• Nuclear proliferation
• Financial instability
• Humanitarian crises
• Barriers to education
• Global inequality exacerbated by tax havens

Brown argues that these complex problems cannot be tackled by nations acting in isolation; rather, they necessitate coordinated international efforts to create a fairer and more sustainable world. His writing is both analytical and passionate, combining empirical data with personal anecdotes to illustrate the real-world implications of these challenges.

Throughout the book, Brown offers practical solutions for each issue, drawing on examples from various countries and global organisations. He emphasises the importance of collaboration and presents a vision of a united approach to governance that transcends national borders.

“In a world that is more interconnected than ever, our responses must be equally comprehensive.”

This book resonates with readers who have enjoyed works like The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein or This Changes Everything by Klein as well, as they share themes of global interdependence and the urgent need for systemic change.
