As the shock of the 2008 European financial crisis begins to
subside, it is time for scholars to step back and analyze the
crisis's causes and effects from a multidisciplinary vantage point.
Europe in Crisis examines the current state of the European
economy, society, and polity, both on the theoretical and political
levels, by placing special emphasis on its current crisis. With
important contributions from heterodox economists and radical
social and political scientists, this innovative new edited
collection seeks to evaluate past efforts and policies (mainly
since World War II), criticize the failed neoclassical/neoliberal
perspectives, and offer alternative strategies and policies to
Europe's socioeconomic impasse and misery.
Having previously defined a good society as a sustainable society
with a high level of development, significant provision of
meaningful jobs, and low levels of inequality and social ills,
Toward a Good Society in the Twenty-first Century provides a wide
range of principles and policies that would be necessary if we are
to achieve a good society.

Toward a Good Society in the Twenty-first Century provides a wide
range of principles and policies that would be necessary if we are
to achieve a good society.Marangos and Karagiannis have put
together a comprehensive volume that explores the principles and
policies needed to bring about the good society, and focuses on
four broad themes which are deemed important towards achieving a
good or better society: quality education and fair distribution;
environmentally sustainable prosperity; inclusive economic
development and significant job creation; and beneficial civic
institutions, and deepening of freedom and time use. All these
topics can be highly controversial and call for alternative
perspectives on theoretical (philosophical) and policy grounds.
