Public Policy beyond the Financial Crisis: An International Comparative Study

As a result of the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, governments have started cutting back the state and public sectors, thus introducing methods that look suspiciously like those adopted under Reagan and Thatcher. This book uses innovative statistical methods to profile and group countries before and after the 2008-2009 crisis in order to show which countries are best prepared for the ongoing Euro crisis. Finally, Haynes proposes a new model of public policy that could provide long-term social and economic quality and stability.
