{"product_id":"9789814603508","title":"The Rise And Fall Of Global Austerity","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince its onset in late 2007, few expected the Great Recession to be protracted for over half a decade across the world. \u003ci\u003eThe Rise and Fall of Global Austerity\u003c\/i\u003e explains the origins and history of austerity, severe implications of the idea of it and how the continuation of the Great Recession was a by-product of austerity measures. Covering austerity policies that are in place in the United States, Europe, and other countries, E Ray Canterbery explains why austerity is detrimental for economies, economic policy and the general health of populations around the world. He highlights the connection between public debt and austerity policies and shows how the austerity lobby works in the United States to achieve its goals. Besides presenting a critique of the rationale for austerity, Canterbery also recommends monetary, fiscal, and incomes policy remedies, and stresses why economic growth and full employment are more ideal and pragmatic antidotes to the Great Recession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Brief History of Austerity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansionary Austerity in the 21st Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Housing Bubble Collapse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousing's Trickle-Down Effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Recession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublic Debt and Global Austerity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-Austerity in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Austerity Kills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Austerity Lobby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonetary Remedies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiscal Remedies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncomes Policy Remedies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Importance of Economic Growth and Full Employment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Economic historians, researchers, students and members of the public who are interested in political economy and financial institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a brief history of austerity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains how the continuation of the Great Recession was a by-product of austerity measures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the few books published after the recession of 2008 to provide detailed policy recommendations to deal with the forces of austerity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185301962992,"sku":"9789814603508","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814603508_p0.jpg?v=1763691747","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814603508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
