Finance and Industrial Policy

This book brings together leading scholars and policy makers to address a number of critical issues in finance and industrial policy for sustainable economic recovery in Europe in the post-crisis era. It brings together current debates on banking policy, regulation, and reform to reassert the need for financial institutions that will back up and finance an industrial policy to revive the European economy. It analyses the role of industrial and investment policies in supporting innovation, creating jobs, and generating sustainable economic growth. Finally, it advances a number of alternative policy proposals aimed at generating sustainable economic growth and employment in Europe.
