Chronik einer angekündigten Krise. Italien und Europa

So radically diverging fortunes within the Eurozone are astounding, and hardly sustainable. How did we get here? And where do we get from here? This chapter offers an interpretation of Italy’s vicissitudes, starting with a brief overview of the Italian economy before the outbreak of the crisis. It then surveys the policies implemented in the crisis and their effects on the productive and social fabric. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the– national and European – alternative policies for recovery.
