Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste

Resumen del libro

With a title taken from Rahm Emmanual this is a sharp, witty and deeply informed account which surveys the wreckage of what passes for economic thought, and finally provides the basis for an anti-neoliberal account of the current debt crisis, and our future prospects.

At the onset of the Great Recession, as house prices sank and joblessness soared, many commentators concluded that the economic convictions behind the disaster would now be consigned to history. And yet, in the harsh light of a new day, we've awoken to a second nightmare more ghastly than the first: a political class still blaming government intervention, a global drive for austerity, stagflation, and an international sovereign debt crisis.
