Banks are sustained by trillions of government dollars, unemployment is approaching 25 million and the long-term future of the economy is in doubt. In Epic Recession, Jack Rasmus shows that we need a new way of understanding the crisis if things are to improve.Rasmus interrogates US economic history to show that the current predicament is what he terms an 'Epic Recession', neither a full-blown depression or a short-lived period of contraction followed by a swift return to growth. He then shows that the only way to prevent the onset of depression is to radically restructure the economy through a massive job creation program, nationalisations, a fundamentally new kind of banking structure and a long-term redistribution of income through better healthcare and benefit systems.Epic Recession provides a rallying point for trade unionists and concerned citizens who want to ensure that any recovery is felt further than Wall street. 606 $aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$y2009- 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy$y2009- 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy 615 0$aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009. 676 $a330.9730932 700 $aRasmus$b Jack$01152107 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785333303321 996 $aEpic recession$93758948 997 $aUNINA
