Synopsis "REVENGE OF THE TIPPING POINT"

Why in the late 1980s and early ’90s did Los Angeles become the bank robbery capital of the world? What is the Magic Third and what does it have to do with racial equity? What do big cats and clusters of teen suicide have in common? These are just some of the questions Malcolm Gladwell addresses in this provocative new work, which revisits the phenomenon of social epidemics and examines the ways in which we have learned to tinker with and shape the spread of ideas, viruses, and trends—sometimes with great success, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Gladwell shows that—whether in neighborhoods, schools, zoos, or conference rooms—today’s epidemics are turbocharged versions of their earlier counterparts, and we are more tempted than ever to try to manipulate tipping points for our own ends. Yet these efforts often come at a cost, creating difficult tradeoffs and unexpected dilemmas. Above all, we must recognize our responsibility—as individuals and as a society—to take tipping points seriously if we want to change our world for the better. With this thought-provoking new book, his most personal yet, Gladwell gives us the insights we need to meet these challenges in innovative ways.

Malcolm Gladwell (Fareham, September 3, 1963) is a Canadian journalist, writer, and sociologist, son of a Jamaican psychologist and an English mathematics professor. Although born in England in 1963, at the age of six (1969) he moved with his family to Canada, where he was raised. At the University of Toronto, he graduated in History (1984) and, after being rejected by several advertising agencies, began his journalism career at a magazine in Indiana, The American Spectator. From there he moved to The Washington Post (1987-1996), where he spent nearly a decade, first in the Science section and then as head of the New York bureau for business.

By then he began reading academic research in sociology and psychology in search of ideas for reports, something that underpins much of his work and sparks many controversies in the sense that he tends to highlight the most documented exceptions to the rules of general opinion. In 1996 he started working at The New Yorker.
