“This book presents a comprehensive and accessible discussion of the principles governing policy choices and the evaluation of past policies, which will be valuable for policymakers and for all those interested in the role of policy in promoting social and economic well-being.

The focus of several chapters is Greece after the financial crisis, but it contains much more and can be equally useful for policymakers and many others in Europe and beyond.” —Sir CHRISTOPHER A. PISSARIDES, Regius Professor of Economics, London School of Economics and Political Science, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, 2010.
