| Summary: | "Presenting new and innovative perspectives on macroeconomics at the national and international levels, the editors bring together contributions on a wide range of topics including: social, institutional, and environmental perspectives; current issues of globalization; transitional economies; inequality; unemployment; national and international debt; and the relationship of macroeconomic policies to the environment.
The contributors draw on expertise in a variety of areas to provide insight into debates on macroeconomic policy in the US and Europe, as well as in developing and transitional economies. Themes explored include:
• disequilibrium in the macroeconomy: analysis of the roots of instability and crisis in national and global systems
• the evolution of macroeconomic institutions to stabilize and guide economic growth
• the paradoxes of globalization, the dangers of unrestricted financial flows, and the impacts of globalization on national institutional coherence
• macro and institutional strategies for the transitional economies of Russia and Eastern Europe
• distributional and equity issues, including employment, housing, and homelessness
• the impact of macroeconomic policy and debt on the environment
• long-term growth and its relationship to well-being and environmental sustainability. " |
