Corona shock: How the corona crisis can strengthen the resilience of our economy and society

Corona is/was primarily a health crisis, that goes without saying. But everyone knows that this crisis will also have consequences for our economy and our finances. And that society has been shaken up and we have a lot of lessons to learn in areas such as health care, education, state structure and government policy.

Professor Johan Albrecht is a senior fellow at the Itinera Institute and teaches environmental economics at Ghent University. He is the author of five books and more than forty publications in international journals and collections.

In this visionary book, he looks ahead to how corona can act as a game changer to fundamentally change things in our country. Under the motto 'never let a good crisis go to a waste', he advocates turning this shock into an opportunity. With 20 years of the 21st century behind us, we must say goodbye to the recipes of the 20th. Decisiveness, a sense of responsibility, efficiency, leadership and mobilizing all our talents will be needed.
