COVID to Reset

Between 2020 and 2026, the world experienced one of the most rapid economic and social transformations in modern history. As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, global economies contracted, governments intervened at unprecedented levels, and new forms of digital and supply-chain resilience emerged. COVID to Reset traces this transition from crisis to reconstruction, examining how public health emergencies reshaped labour markets, inflation, and inequality. Drawing from archival data, interviews, and long-term fiscal studies, this documentary-style history explores the economic aftermath of the pandemic—how it exposed structural fragilities yet accelerated innovation. The book situates the pandemic within the broader trajectory of 21st-century globalization, offering readers a sober, analytical portrait of how societies adapt when confronted with systemic disruption.
