  2. NerveAMVMaker Are you familiar with Mark Blyth and his work on austerity? I'm interested in your opinion on that. He argues very convincingly but I'm too ignorant of economics to make a critical evaluation. He's also made some interesting work where he argues that the efficiency-welfare trade-off is false.

  3. NerveAMVMaker I don't know his position on what caused the crisis, though he has used US an example of a country that handled the economy well during the recession (not resorting to austerity). He's done an extensive promotion tour for his book Austerity - The history of a dangerous idea so you won't have a hard time finding his main points in digestible format.
