The Political Economy of Covid-19 : Covid-19, Inequality and Government Responses Paperback / softback
Edited by Jonathan (Oxford University, UK) Michie, Maura Sheehan
Paperback / softback
Description
This comprehensive book brings together research published during 2021 analysing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy – on output and employment, on inequality, and on public policy responses.
The Covid-19 pandemic has been the greatest public health crisis for a century – since the ‘Spanish Flu’ pandemic of 1919.
The economic impact has been equally seismic. While it is too early to measure the full economic cost – since much of this will continue to accumulate for some time to come – it will certainly be one of the greatest global economic shocks of the past century.
Some chapters in this edited volume report on specific countries, while some take a comparative look between countries, and others analyse the impact upon the global economy.
Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, there had been calls for a ‘great reset’ in face of the climate crisis, the increased income and wealth inequality, and the need to avoid further global financial crisis.
With the devastating Covid-19 pandemic – a harbinger for further such pandemics – there is an even greater need for a reset, and for the reset to be that much greater.
The chapters in this book were originally published as special issues in the journal International Review of Applied Economics.
