Did COVID change the way we think about relationships and money?
Author Felix Salmon tells us how the pandemic changed our attitudes towards work, relationships, money and the future.
The long-term effects of the pandemic are becoming more evident day by day. Globalisation was dying, but the virus accelerated the process. Loneliness has become the “invisible epidemic”.
