Bill Gates Libri

OSANNA O CRUCIFIGE: sembra che, quando si parla di globalizzazione, non si riesca a sfuggire da questi opposti atteggiamenti. Opportunità infinite, crescita costante, emancipazione continua, da un lato, oppressione, degradazione, mercificazione, dall’altro. Perché? Che cosa ha di intrinsecamente buono o cattivo questo fenomeno tanto da dividere gli studiosi e i cittadini, da creare profeti di benessere e predicatori di sventure, da produrre speranze ottimistiche e contestazioni radicali? E che cosa ha di nuovo rispetto, ad esempio, ad alcuni suoi predecessori, come la rivoluzione scientifica, quella tecnologica, quella industriale? E se non è nuova, la globalizzazione, ma è una rinnovata sfida della conoscenza e del progresso, come affrontarla, affinché siamo noi, che consapevolmente o inintenzionalmente l’abbiamo creata e voluta, a goderne i maggiori benefici per il maggior numero di popoli e persone?Insomma: il mondo si allarga. Si allargano i commerci, i rapporti economici, le relazioni politiche, le integrazioni culturali, e, dietro a questo allargamento, i valori, i princìpi, i diritti, le aspirazioni, le visioni. Che cos’è che non va in questo processo? Che cosa c’è da correggere? Perché lo si dovrebbe fermare? Il mondo largo è da restringere o espandere ancora?Le lezioni sull’argomento tenute nella Sala Zuccari di Palazzo Giustiniani e qui raccolte in volume trattano esattamente queste questioni. Esse hanno autori di indiscusso prestigio: dal compianto Senatore Giovanni Agnelli a Henry Kissinger, da Václav Havel a Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, da Bill Gates a Bernard Lewis. A leggerle tutte assieme, si scopre che esse offrono un punto di vista prezioso e originale per la conoscenza del fenomeno, e ne forniscono una descrizione articolata e multidisciplinare, dall’economia alla politica alla cultura alla storia.

Can we even hope to accomplish this?Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and in this book he lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another disaster like it.

Then he helps us understand how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, can not only ward off another COVID-like catastrophe but also go far to eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu.Here is a clarion call - strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance - from one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists.

As told by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Hit Refresh is the story of corporate change and reinvention as well as the story of Nadella’s personal journey, one that is taking place today inside a storied technology company, and one that is coming in all of our lives as intelligent machines become more ambient and more ubiquitous. It’s about how people, organizations and societies can and must hit refresh—transform—in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, relevance and renewal. At the core, it’s about us humans and our unique qualities, like empathy, which will become ever more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt like never before. As much a humanist as a technologist, Nadella defines his mission and that of the company he leads as empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

In his new book, Microsoft chairman and CEO Bill Gates discusses how technology can help run businesses better today and how it will transform the nature of business in the near future. Gates stresses the need for managers to view technology not as overhead but as a strategic asset, and offers detailed examples from Microsoft, GM, Dell, and many other successful companies.
