Legacy of the crash: how the financial crisis changed America and Britain

When the global financial system crashed, governments in America and Britain perfomed the greatest bailout in history. The legacy is record government debt, low growth and a new era of austerity. A stellar cast of contributors, including Tim Bale, Wyn Grant and Graham Wilson provide a sophisticated account of how the administrations are faring. TERRENCE CASEY is Head and Associate Professor of Political Science, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, USA, and Executive Director of the British Politics Group of the American Political Science Association. His previous books include 'The Blair Legacy', ed. (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009) and 'The Social Context of Economic Change in Britain' (2002).
