This book introduces the Political Economy of Alternative Economic Futures for the Greek economy up to 2035. The analysis is not restricted to the presentation of a series of forecasts but aims to develop a comprehensive framework for Greece¿s future. The analysis covers five realms regarding alternative economic futures, which outline the political economy of Greece: sustainable development; sustainable governance; inclusive growth; evolution of human behaviors; and dynamic growth. A growth, an unsustainable growth, a transformation, and a falldown scenario are generated based on the severity of key-uncertainty factors' effects.

It presents the theoretical background for two scenarios: the normal scenario (business as usual, including the effects of the recent Covid-19 pandemic) and the optimal scenario (a pro-growth scenario including increases of Total Factor Productivity through structural reforms).

This book presents a comprehensive economic plan for Greece to encourage growth and avoid future crises. The analysis in this book includes policy implementation (in the short-, medium- and long-term) across important topics such as sustainability, inclusivity, pro-growth social behavior, and dynamic economic growth.

This book studies the evolution in human thought, action, and behavior as aresult of the 2008 fi nancial crisis and the Covid-19 crisis.

This highly topical analysis explores the nexus of economics and politics in the contemporary European Union, showing how the EU's financial woes prompted a range of actual and planned institutional changes in the Eurozone from the 2008 crash to 2012.
