Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2016From immigration reform to energy resources, from political paralysis to inequality and extremism, we are beset by a raft of huge and seemingly insurmountable issues. The daily newspapers, the rolling 24-hour television news, portray a world in terminal decline: the rise of IS, the Syrian refugee crisis, Beijings financial fallibility and Putins brazen annexing of the Crimea. The ripples are felt by us all in our everyday lives in unemployment figures or, if were lucky, our stubbornly flat payslips, in the crumbling roads, Tube strikes and sky-rocketing tuition fees.What goes under-reported are the success stories. Here, taking ten of the most knotty issues we face today, Jonathan Tepperman examines unsung individuals bold and innovative attempts against all odds and expectations to solve some of the important problems governments have struggled with for decades. Each chapter tells the story of one government thats found a way to avoid the snares that entangle most of the others. The solutions described in the book arent speculative: theyve all already been tried, and they work.Controversial, provocative but always stimulating, Tepperman here offers a powerful, data-driven case for optimism. Written with flair and an infectious exuberance, The Fix is a book to restore hope to the pessimistic, and offer both practical advice and inspiration in a time of relentless bad news. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781408866559
