Modern Political Economics (eBook, ePUB)

Making Sense of the Post-2008 World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In 2008, not only did the financial system collapse, and send the real economy into a tailspin, but it also revealed the great gulf separating economics from a very real capitalism. Modern Political Economics has a single aim: To help readers make sense of how 2008 came about and what the post-2008 world has in store.
