Is the Global Economy on the Brink of Recession?
30.11.2011
The November/December issue of Intereconomics features a Forum that examines whether or not the world economy is headed back into recession. Prominent economists such as Justin Lin, the World Bank's chief economist, and Carmen Reinhart, co-author of the financial crisis bible "This Time Is Different", are just two of the authors who weigh in with their economic predictions as well as their prescriptions for remedying the global economic malaise. Other articles in this issue include an analysis of the deterioration of Italy's fiscal health; an examination of the origins and consequences of the current account deficits in Greece, Portugal and Spain; and an Editorial detailing the importance of separating investment and commercial banking.

In addition to identifying problems with the way these agencies currently operate, the five Forum contributions put forth numerous proposals to improve their performance. Other articles in this issue include a chronicle of Greece's EMU membership, a comparison of European and American approaches to internet and consumer privacy, and Paul De Grauwe's impassioned Editorial criticising the "Northern diagnosis" of the eurozone problems.
Misunderstanding the Euro

The July/August issue of Intereconomics features several articles exploring the roots of and solutions to the ongoing euro crisis.

Waltraud Schelkle's Editorial discusses the most recent crisis summit and warns of the negative effects such exclusive negotiations have on European democracy. Other articles include a review of the NYSE Euronext-Deutsche Börse merger and an analysis of whether market share volatility is a significant indicator for cartel detection.
