{"product_id":"9781786497192","title":"Open","description":"\u003cp\u003eHumanity's embrace of openness is the key to our success. The freedom to explore and exchange - whether it's goods, ideas or people - has led to stunning achievements in science, technology and culture. As a result, we live at a time of unprecedented wealth and opportunity. So why are we so intent on ruining it?\nFrom Stone Age hunter-gatherers to contemporary Chinese-American relations, Open explores how across time and cultures, we have struggled with a constant tension between our yearning for co-operation and our profound need for belonging. Providing a bold new framework for understanding human history, bestselling author and thinker Johan Norberg examines why we're often uncomfortable with openness - but also why it is essential for progress. Part sweeping history and part polemic, this urgent book makes a compelling case for why an open world with an open economy is worth fighting for more than ever\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Johan+Norberg\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJohan Norberg\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johan Norberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379685146787,"sku":"9781786497192","price":310.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781786497192_99e30963-c99f-4a52-af95-1e5b1f003a1d.jpg?v=1776591625","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781786497192","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
