Read More →UNENDING RECOVERY by Nicholas Samuel WHAT THIS BOOK OFFERS Written for a general audience, this book is one-of-a-kind. It rethinks the economic problem and offers a whole new line of reasoning that attributes its stubbornness to dysfunctional pseudo market conditions. These are shown to take the edge off current policy measures to render them mere stopgaps. The narrative reaches beneath the surface to get to the real problem by going beyond the centrepiece of economics to include matters from business, finance, politics, and the law. Unending Recovery: A Fresh Look at the Economic Crisis, Neglected Issues, Real Solutions is a comprehensive work that vividly addresses issues that other books have taken for granted. It is a reader-friendly presentation that dares to be different in terms of breadth, depth, and style.
