Lessons from the Great Recession: At the Crossroads of Sustainability and Recovery examines global cases of environmental sustainability and economics in the context of nations from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The book discusses the high costs of decisions taken in response to the recent economic crises, which as a result have created a lack of investment in environmental and developmental considerations. This volume analyses the problems faced globally as economies try to build a sustainable future in the aftermath of the 'Great Recession'. The book observes concepts of sustainability in the post-recession and post-bailout world around aspects such as Fiscal / economic / social sustainability; Financial sustainability (sector risks etc.); Environmental sustainability. Chapters scrutinise the relationships between nations and supra state agencies such as the UN, EU, IMF etc. in the context of economic crises.
Gurdgiev, Leonard, and Gonzalez-Perez present readers with a collection of academic and professional perspectives on what lessons can be learned from the Great Recession in terms of sustainability and economic recovery and prosperity. The contributions that make up the main body of the text are devoted to the role of leverage in the Irish economic collapse, the divergent import of the great recession and natural disasters on New York’s five boroughs, financing sustainable energy sovereignty with The Bank of the South, and many other related subjects. Constantin Gurdgiev is a faculty member of Trinity College in Ireland. Liam Leonard is a faculty member of California State University, Fullerton. Maria Alejandra Gonzalez-Perez is a faculty member of Universidad EAFIT in Columbia. -- Annotation * (protoview.com) *
