Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You can manage your household, build a career, and understand personal finance, but do you actually know how the wider world operates? How the World Really Works pulls back the curtain on the massive physical, economic, and political systems that govern modern civilization. From the engineering and politics of the electrical grid, water treatment plants, and industrial agriculture to global shipping containers, central banking, and subsea internet cables, this volume covers the macro-mechanics of human society.Designed to provide a panoramic view of global infrastructure, this guide strips away partisan spin to examine international law, military logistics, the housing market, pandemics, and energy transitions. Whether you are studying geopolitical borders, the economics of attention, or the physical architecture of cyberspace, this book equips you with the foundational mental models to understand how the global machinery functions.
