Peter Wilson: I am a fan of author along my with Podcast. He used humour and common sense to talk about a dry topic.

Jorge G. Lozano: Scott Galloway has an incredible perspective of America. His financial knowledge is something to treasure. In this book he puts the problems Americans are facing with a strongly divided government, few wealthy corporations and a loss of patriotism that has been misinterpreted for picking one side or the other. With facts and chart, Scott Galloway shows us where our Country is right now and what solutions we have if we take action. This is a must read for all Americans to understand the big picture.

V Cut Duck: In his usual snarky but thoughtful ( yes, you can be both at the same time) style the good Professor gives you a lot to consider. Not only what has already happened during the pandemic, but of what the likely outcomes will be. For those of us on the right, this book gives you a chance to think about our responsibilities to our communities post Corona....without having to have the proverbial barf bag next to you while reading this book. ( unlike a podcast with Professor G’s sidekick the insufferable Ms. Swisher)

David L: The first four chapters were quite good and helpful. I had bought the book hoping it would help me "see around the corner" to what is coming Post Corona. While no one knows, the author has many good insights and helped me think about what comes next. The fifth, last and longest chapter was the weakest. As others have noted, it is off-topic. It is a rant about what is wrong about America and our system of taxation and privilege. Much I agree with, much I don't, but it is all off-topic. It seems as if the author ran out of material and the fifth chapter was used to fill out the book. The other problem is the challenge of writing a book about the pandemic during the pandemic. Much is already outdated in just a few months.

Stephen Waddington: We’re still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s too early to predict the future of business and society but NYU Stern School of Business Stern Professor and serial entrepreneur Scott Galloway has made a good start in his new book Post Corona: From Crisis to Opportunity.

Galloway’s view is that the pandemic’s enduring impact will be an acceleration for technology, and no area of the economy will be left unchanged. The book and the case studies are all US centric but you don’t have to work hard to apply Galloway’s work to other markets.

E-commerce accounted for 16% of US retail in March 2021 and was growing approximately one percent per year. Eight weeks later it accounted for 27%. If your organisation sells a product or service it must have an online shop front. This rapid shift to digital, resulting from lockdown, is a fundamental trend that will have a fundamental impact on every area of society and business in the future.

After a fall at the outset of the pandemic in Spring 2020, all the major UK and US market indices quickly recovered and continue to climb. But the impact of the crisis has been unequal. The crisis paid out a premium in...

michael f: Read Prof. Galloways ‘Algebra of Happiness’ last year...this book is obviously very much of the here and now. Poss a bit of a risk writing it whilst we’re still in the middle of the pandemic, and not all is yet played out....lots of ‘sound bites’, not all of which I agree with, but he’s brilliant at Marketing...his view on how the pandemic will change University Education, is ready to happen and his ‘T algorithm’ discussion is so motivating - well worth a read

I. Krutainis: Not bad Covid economybook. A lot of the content is a follow up from his book "Four" and recent blog posts, but still it's a decent long form content from Prof G. The book got quite a few notes to refer to later

Morey: I follow Prof Galloway's blog and watch the occasional YouTube video and admire the creativity in his thinking around what various businesses should do. If you are on the mailing list of No Mercy No Malice, some of the material in this book will be familiar to you. But it's always enjoyable to see those items strung together in a narrative thread.

However, if you are an entrepreneur or corporate manager looking for practical guidance on how to steer your business Post Corona, this book is too high level to be of much use. Think of it more as a framework for thinking about a post COVID world, and at worst you will be entertained, at best, it may provoke some fresh thinking.
