Chris Adolph :: 409
Chris Adolph :: 409 Political Economy from Great Recession to Pandemic POLS/ECON 409 We consider contemporary comparative political economy and macroeconomics of advanced industrial economies through the lens of the past two decades, bookended by the long recession kicked off by speculative bubbles and financial crisis, and the sharp recession and subsequent inflationary growth that followed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the background, massive technological change and widening inequality renewed debate on the appropriate role of government in managing the business cycle and addressing systemic disparities.
