Great Recession – A Subversive View
Autor Carles Maneraen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 apr 2013
This book analyzes the major economic crisis that began in 2007/08 and continues into 2013. Author Carles Manera explains that it is not just a financial crisis, caused primarily by the banking sector as many commentators claim, but a systemic crisis caused in part by overproduction, falls in business profits, environmental problems, and a stubborn insistence by political and monetary authorities on economic policies driven by austerity. Providing examples from the economic history of Western nations, which provide economists and social scientists with essential reference for understanding the complexities behind this Great Recession, Manera proposes economic solutions to end the crisis that are at odds with policies proposed and acted on by major European governments, led by Germany. He thus adopts a heterodox approach - a "subversive view" - making this book stand out not only from governmental economic policy-making, but taking a stance far from conventional academic literature on economics. Manera is highly critical of the economic policy coming out of Berlin and Brussels, in which ultra-neoliberal orthodoxy is the predominant form of economic action. He is of the firm opinion that this wrong path will only prolong the crisis for the most vulnerable members of society and for the middle classes, which make up the economic consumer power-house of the European economy. A prime objective of the book is to foster a committed viewpoint and engagement by all European states whereby Germany should lead Europe out of this Great Recession (rather than leading Germany only out), and that the European Central Bank should broaden substantively its objectives and concentrate on policies that support economic growth.
