The economic impact has been equally seismic. While it is too early to measure the full economic cost - since much of this will continue to accumulate for some time to come - it will certainly be one of the greatest global economic shocks of the past century. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome chapters in this edited volume report on specific countries, while some take a comparative look between countries, and others analyse the impact upon the global economy. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, there had been calls for a 'great reset' in face of the climate crisis, the increased income and wealth inequality, and the need to avoid further global financial crisis. With the devastating Covid-19 pandemic - a harbinger for further such pandemics - there is an even greater need for a reset, and for the reset to be that much greater. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as special issues in the journal \u003ci\u003eInternational Review of Applied Economics.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Michie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032309571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032309576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.81d","brand":"Jonathan Michie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070933922047,"sku":"9781032309576","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71bdd02a-4481-405f-9ba5-f735054f447e.jpg?v=1685433185","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-political-economy-of-covid-19-jonathan-michie-9781032309576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
