What a time we are living in! The Western world has been fighting against its deepest economic and financial crisis since 1929. The Euro almost fell apart, the EU is in turmoil, Donald Trump is again the president of the US. A pandemic has changed the world and its political and economic systems.
Russia´s war in Ukraine creating turbulence, inflation and a profound security and energy crisis. And AI is about to change the world profoundly. China becomes an economic superpower - and hopefully also an ecological superpower.
What a crazy, complex, frightening world. What a fascinating new world!
Science, technology and globalization are the drivers behind these changes. Some people love them, some people hate them, but they have an impact on everybody´s life. I put a spotlight on science, technology and globalization in my close-up reports as a US Correspondent for DER SPIEGEL, Europe´s leading news magazine and news website (www.spiegel.de/international).
