Unending Recovery: A Fresh Look at the Economic Crisis, Neglected Issues, Real Solutions

This book rethinks the economic problem and presents a new angle that blames its stubbornness on dysfunctional pseudo markets that are shown to be incapable of delivering real recovery. Damaged markets are shown to take the edge off current policy measures, to render them mere stopgaps that actually hamper a proper recovery in the long run. While economics is the centerpiece, the scope of analysis goes beyond the keystone of economics to encompass issues from finance, business, politics, psychology, and the law. The panoptic perspective enables the narrative to reach deep enough to get to the bottom of the real problem. 'Unending Recovery' is a comprehensive work that vividly addresses issues that other books have taken for granted. It is a reader-friendly presentation that dares to be different in terms of breadth, depth, and style. While being scholarly, it takes a breezy, entertaining, and often satirical, approach to a painful economic crisis, and offers the award-winning author's original explanations of real causes and real solutions by fearlessly unmasking hidden truths. Packed with insight, it should appeal to anyone looking for a novel approach to a tired topic, including people interested in current affairs, economics, finance, and politics.
