Description
European Social Models: Crisis to Crisis Employment and Inequality in the Era of Monetary Integration by Jon Erik Dølvik and Andrew Martin explores how Europe's diverse social models interacted with major economic developments over the past quarter century. The dominant view has been that these social models have impaired labor market efficiency, leading to unemployment. However, powerful macroeconomic events, including the European recession following Germany's post-unification boom and the sovereign debt crisis threatening the Euro's survival, cast doubt on this diagnosis. This book examines the interaction between Europe's social models and their economic environment, concluding that it is the latter that has primarily contributed to the immense social costs of the crisis. By analyzing these interactions, Dølvik and Martin shed new light on the complex relationships between labor markets, welfare states, and economic governance in Europe.
