The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has killed hundreds of thousands of people and infected millions while also devastating the world economy. The consequences of the pandemic, however, go much further: they threaten the fabric of national and international politics around the world. What will be the consequences of the pandemic, and what will a post-COVID world order look like? No institution is better suited to address these issues than Johns Hopkins University, which has convened experts from within and outside of the university to discuss world order after COVID-19.

Technological innovation is deeply woven into the fabric of American culture, and is no less a basic feature of American health care. Medical technology saves lives and relieves suffering, and is enormously popular with the public, profitable for doctors, and a source of great wealth for industry. Yet its costs are rising at a dangerously unsustainable rate. The control of technology costs poses a terrible ethical and policy dilemma. How can we deny people what they may need to live and flourish?

En marzo de 2020, Corea del Sur se convirtió en un ejemplo de cómo frenar el Covid-19 y eso podría justificar que este libro fuera un recuento de las medidas que tomaron para lograrlo; un reportaje sobre las restricciones lúcidas o polémicas del país que nunca mirábamos -el mismo de Parásitos- o un ensayo sobre todo aquello que los asiáticos hacen diferente. Podría ser un texto especulativo sobre el futuro de la sociedad y sobre cuáles son los límites de la privacidad frente al bien común.

The work of academics can matter and be influential on a public level, but the path to becoming a public intellectual, influential policy advisor, valued community resource, or go-to person on an issue is not one that most scholars are trained for.

Stoppt das Krankenhaussterben! Krankenhäuser in Deutschland und Europa sind längst zum Spekulationsobjekt international agierender, privater Klinikkonzerne geworden. Die Folge: Die Konzerne erzielen Renditen aus dem solidarischen System unseres Gesundheitswesens. Thomas Strohschneider war selbst jahrelang als Chefarzt in einer privatwirtschaftlich geführten Klinik tätig.

Ein hochdringlicher Weckruf und ein starkes Plädoyer für eine Politik, die sich der Realität stellt. Wir leben in einer Zeit nie da gewesener Herausforderungen. Zum ersten Mal seit Beginn der Zivilisation ist sogar das Überleben der Menschen auf dem Planeten Erde gefährdet.

Kipppunkte des Klimawandels werden von der Wissenschaft warnend beschrieben und trotzdem überschritten.

Who cares? Ricardo Lange, Intensivpfleger, liebt seinen Beruf - und leidet an ihm. So sehr, dass er seinem Ärger über die Missstände in der Pflege auf Facebook Luft macht und an die Öffentlichkeit geht.

A third of the national Medicare budget - nearly $175 billion - is spent on the final year of life, and a third of that amount on the final month, often on expensive (and futile) treatments. Such efforts betray a fundamental flaw in how we think about healthcare: we squander resources on hopeless situations, instead of using them to actually improve health.
