Review of Mario Morroni, 'What is the truth about the Great Recession and increasing inequality? Dialogues on disputed issues and conflicting theories', Cham: Springer, 2018 [Book review]

Mario Morroni’s 2016 book on the Great Recession has now been translated from its original Italian and published in English by Springer. It makes accessible to the general reader, and those just embarking on economic studies, discussions and debates on the causes and effects of the Great Recession, the impact from which we still suffer more than a decade on. Nine dialogues are presented in the form of chapters, each of which focuses on a key theme: Increasing inequality; The failure to predict the Great Recession; Why fiscal austerity?; Rolling back the welfare state; The state and the market; The gigantic German trade surplus and the euro; Crisis policy; Environmental degradation; Industrial policy.
