Dionysis G. Valsamis – författare

This book studies the evolution in human thought, action, and behavior as a

result of the 2008 fi nancial crisis and the Covid-19 crisis. Through the presentation

and analysis of data, as recorded for at least a decade, and using the Greek

economy as a case study, the authors examine the changes in social and human

capital, increasingly risk-averse behavior, and changes in people’s general psyche

and economic action in Greek society and economy.

This book presents an overview of the economics and politics implemented in the European Union and especially the Eurozone during the crisis of 2008-2012. Although it focuses on these four years, the analysis starts from the establishment of the European Union and covers the period up to the outbreak of the Cypriot banking crisis in mid-2013. The long-term creation of structural changes in European economics and politics is associated with a growth lag within the global economic environment dynamics. The economic and political consequences of the crisis and the development of new institutions will shape the future growth dynamics towards a Fragmented European Federation.
