This comprehensive book brings together research published during
2021 analysing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy -
on output and employment, on inequality, and on public policy
responses. The Covid-19 pandemic has been the greatest public
health crisis for a century - since the 'Spanish Flu' pandemic of
1919. 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.
Some 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. The chapters in this book were
originally published as special issues in the journal International
Review of Applied Economics.
