Generating knowledge in times of information overload can bring thematic clarity. The book seeks to do just that for the post COVID-19 world. It looks at issues of human security and human survival, and examines the sustainability of the liberal capitalist model. It is an important starting point for critical engagement with key issues emerging in contemporary Pakistan.
— Sherry Rehman, Politician
