The financial crisis of 2007 further exacerbated economic instability due to high foreign debt, lack of competitiveness, declining productivity, and high unemployment and underemployment. This in turn has precipitated increasing social and environmental problems, including poverty, inequality, crime and violence, and environmental degradation, all of which require new perspectives and policy approaches for transformative change and sustainable development. In the 2-volume multidisciplinary edited book The Modern Caribbean Economy, Volume I: Alternative Perspectives and Policy Implications provides scholars and practitioners with alternative theoretical perspectives and concrete policy recommendations, while Volume II: Economic Development and Public Policy Challenges discusses economic, industrial, and social problems facing the Caribbean along with pragmatic proposals to successfully deal with these, while building local resilience and enhancing institutional strength in the region.Economics collection.2163-7628Economic developmentCaribbean AreaCaribbean AreaEconomic conditions1945-Caribbean AreaEconomic policyElectronic books.Caribbeanvolatilityeconomic developmentdevelopment strategiespublic policyinstitutional reformsEconomic development330.9729Karagiannis Nikolaos865680Mohammed Debbie A.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466428903321The modern Caribbean economy1931964UNINA
