After Normal
After Normal explores how the fallout from the financial crisis has altered today's economic patterns and explains the political missteps that led to the crisis in the first place. This book reveals how issues sparked by the crisis now shape the world, from China’s sudden investment in infrastructure to changes to democracies in debt-ridden southern European nations. It evaluates the repercussions of experimental bank interventions and the role consumers played in the crisis. More importantly, After Normal looks to the future, revealing what direction the global economy will take now that “normal” no longer exists.
Author Samuel Rines’s writings on the economy have been published by multiple media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, the National Interest, CNBC, Bloomberg, and Reuters.
After Normal bridges the complex economic landscape of the global economy, and the United State’s role in its past, present and future.
