Braver New World: The Countries Daring to Do What Others Won't

Award-winning broadcaster and journalist John Kampfner has had a front-row seat at some of the most seismic turning-points in modern history - from the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Soviet communism, to the consequences of the Iraq war and the killing fields of Rwanda. He also written several acclaimed books including the bestselling conversation-starter Why The Germans Do It Better: Notes from a Grown-up Country.

Braver New World is Kampfner's most timely and urgent book to date. At a moment when it feels the world is falling apart, he reports from ten countries that are forging new paths forward and coming up with innovative solutions to the questions that ultimately we all want answers for: Where am I going to live? What happens when I get sick? Am I learning the right skills? Are there ways of ensuring my children aren't being brainwashed with disinformation? How is my environment going to be protected without costing me my livelihood?

From Austria to Taiwan, and Estonia to India, Kampfner introduces us to the people and places where the most daring things are happening. A book of hope for hard times, Braver New World shows us that it is when countries have their backs against the wall that they come up with the best and bravest solutions - and reminds us never to lose hope, as the answers are out there if we look for them.
