Reflections and the Road Ahead

Redaktion: Thomakos, Dimitrios D.; Nikolopoulos, Konstantinos I.; Monokroussos, Platon

Beschreibung

The recent financial crisis has generated many structural changes within the economy. Many issues are ongoing, and the question of how to recover from the crisis, and how to avoid another one, are continually addressed by scholars and practitioners everywhere. Where there is much discussion within academic and practitioner circles, there is not always adequate interaction between these schools of research. This book provides a thorough overview of the recent financial crisis from the perspective of both industry practitioners and academics specialising in the area. The first part provides practitioner insight on the crisis, and explores the causes and effects and of the recession, European public financing, ECB monetary policy and the Euro, the repression of financial markets, and financial stability. Part two focuses on the case of Greece, as a country still heavily impacted by the crisis, which has undergone various unorthodox policies imposed by the IMF, the ECB the EU. The third part provides insight from researchers and academics, covering an array of Economic theories and revealing new economics architectures available for the future. With informed views from both financial industry practitioners and academics, this book discusses current issues and implementable solutions for a faster post-crisis recovery.

Rezensionen

"This manual we recommend to and for all relevant academic studies, a great reference book, a guide too, needless to say the armoury which can help you avoid and counter similar crises looming in the background as we might well say in the Shipping Industry, this is the ISM (International Safety Management) Code for Nations wishing to survive. ... This book has some home truths about disaster planning and remedies too. Indispensable!" (All About Shipping, allaboutshipping.co.uk, April, 2016)
