Austerity vs Stimulus - The Political Future of Economic Recovery (2017, Palgrave Macmillan)

Robert Skidelsky and Nicolò Fraccaroli

"In this excellent intellectual biography of the crisis, Skidelsky and Fraccaroli give us both the historical arguments, and the contemporary adaptations of these arguments, for Austerity and Stimulus. The politics of economic theory has never been so clearly exposed" - Mark Blyth (Brown University)

"This book is a veritable treasury of the key sources on the most controversial economic issue of our time - austerity. It is an absolutely essential reading for everyone who wants to understand what is going on with our economy and politics" - Ha-Joon Chang (Cambridge University)

"In many European countries, and especially in the United Kingdom, the austerity policies followed since the financial crisis have led to political upheaval and are increasingly put into question. This book comes at the right time" - Paul De Grauwe (LSE)
