About this Book

 This book is one of the products of the Ninth International Conference on Political Economy (ICOPEC) held in September 2018 at Panteion Univer- sity with the main theme “10 years after the Great Recession: Orthodox versus Heterodox Economics”. The conference was coorganised by the Greek Association for Political Economy (GAPE), the Department of Social Policy of Panteion University, and the Faculty of Economics of Marma- ra University. This volume contains eight selected papers that benefited from comments and discussion during the conference and subsequently improved significantly. They focus on economic crises and their impact on the global economy and on particular economic sectors and countries.
