Reviews for The Politics of Extreme Austerity: Greece in the Eurozone Crisis

'This timely volume is one of the first to reflect on how the Greek debt crisis arose, how it was managed by both Europe and Greece, and what lessons are to be learned from it. It brings together a variety of experts to offer an insightful, broad and dispassionate perspective that goes beyond the immediacy of the case to provide a rich understanding.' - Kevin Featherstone, Professor of Contemporary Greek Studies and Professor of European Politics, London School of Economics, UK 'In my view austerity was probably an inevitable response to the Greek crisis, but the authors are right that it gave Greek citizens a 'harsh and bitter tongue' (the original meaning of the Greek word austeros) and led to a Greek tragedy. Their book is a must read to understand how and why.' - Andre Sapir, Professor of Economics, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium
