Introduction: Crisis? What crisis? For whom? (original) (raw)

The 2007 global financial crisis prompts a critical re-evaluation of globalization, development, and vulnerability, particularly in developing and emerging economies. This work features a multi-disciplinary perspective, exploring the crisis's various socio-economic impacts, including increased poverty, income inequality, and the need for improved global governance. The book is organized into four parts covering development concepts, heterodox economic interpretations, regional experiences, and future crisis possibilities, highlighting differing global perspectives on the crisis and the contrasting historical contexts shaping responses.
