The Political Economy and Media Coverage of the European Economic Crisis

Focusing on the European economic crisis since 2008, this book critiques the ineffectiveness of austerity measures and the media's role in shaping public perception of elite policies. It examines how these policies have shifted the burden onto citizens, particularly in Ireland, while drawing comparisons with other contemporary and historical cases to enhance understanding. The analysis is rooted in a critical political economic perspective, providing insights into the broader implications of these economic strategies.
