"Comprehensive, long overdue and a resounding success." - The Guardian
A presentation of "Failed" by the book's author, Mark Weisbrot, Co-Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a think-tank based in Washington D.C. Discussion moderated by Gail Hurley, BPPS.
In "Failed: What the 'Experts' Got Wrong about the Global Economy," Mark analyzes why some of the most important economic developments of recent years have been widely misunderstood, and in some cases almost completely ignored. The second central theme of "Failed" is that there are always practical alternatives to prolonged economic failure. The long-term economic failure of developing countries, its social consequences, as well as the subsequent recovery in the first decade of the 21st century, constitute the third part of the book's narrative.
