5 Crises: 11 new questions of contemporary economics

In the spirit of the previous works in this collection, the studies coordinated by Philippe Askenazy and Daniel Cohen analyze here, in an often unexpected way, the five major crises we are facing, all characteristic of the disarray of the contemporary world. Crisis of elites, culture, finance, society and climate: Cepremap researchers engage in an in-depth decryption of themes whose causes and remedies weave close links. From the accumulation of mandates to the single price of books, from central banks to the political economy of neoliberalism, including the comparative evolution of the incomes of bosses and households, this fascinating book sketches beyond the strictly economic approach a picture of society that is both erudite and accessible that helps to better understand the crisis. And the means to get out of it.
