The key to our success lies in our embrace of openness, which has enabled us to achieve remarkable advancements in science, technology, and culture. The freedom to explore and exchange goods, ideas, and people has led to unprecedented wealth and opportunity. However, despite these achievements, we seem determined to undermine it. This intriguing book, written by bestselling author and thinker Johan Norberg, delves into the historical and cultural tensions between our desire for cooperation and our deep-seated need for belonging. It offers a fresh perspective on human history, challenging our discomfort with openness and emphasizing its essential role in progress. Part historical narrative and part advocacy, Open makes a compelling case for why an open world with an open economy is worth fighting for more than ever.
