{"product_id":"9781509531301","title":"The Case For People's Quantitative Easing by Frances Coppola","description":"In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, central banks created trillions of dollars of new money, and poured it into financial markets. `Quantitative Easing' (QE) was supposed to prevent deflation and restore economic growth.?? But the money didn't go to ordinary people: it went to the rich, who didn't need it. It went to big corporations and banks - the same banks whose reckless lending caused the crash. This led to a decade of stagnation, not recovery. QE failed.    In this book, Frances Coppola makes the case for a `people's QE', in which the money goes directly to ordinary people and small businesses. She argues that it is the fairest and most effective way of restoring crisis-hit economies and helping to solve the long-term challenges of ageing populations, automation and climate change.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301850001781,"sku":"9781509531301","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781509531301.jpg?v=1762791849","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781509531301","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
