| Summary: |
"Europe in an Age of Austerity provides an in-depth discussion and analysis of the broad issues that have underpinned the current European economic crisis. It also offers detailed analysis of the experiences of three countries - Greece, Ireland, and Portugal - that had to be bailed out by the "Troika". It examines four elements of "crisis" which have dominated the debate about recessionary Europe: the housing crisis, the banking crisis, the sovereign debt crisis, and the austerity crisis. The book challenges the popular view that today's economic crisis in Europe is a sovereign debt crisis. |
