This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of recovery and the establishment of a new normal in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing valuable insights from the unprecedented challenges faced, it presents innovative ideas for sustainable development, endogenous dynamism, and inclusive growth. Spanning various dimensions of our economic reality, the book explores diverse perspectives and offers a multifaceted understanding of the present and the future.

Macroeconomics, governments, technology, and society are the four central pillars upon which the book focuses its attention. It examines critical topics that will shape future economic scenarios, beginning with an insightful estimation of the economic consequences in the absence of equitable vaccine distribution. The discussion then extends to the sustainability of government debts, the likelihood of inflation, deflation, or stagflation, and the impact of US and European economic policies on economic growth.

Furthermore, the book delves into the profound economic costs of the pandemic, which have disproportionately affected the most vulnerable segments of society. It explores government subsidies, which provided crucial support to individuals and businesses through wage subsidies, unemployment benefits, and other fiscal measures. The book raises important questions about the continued need for investment in healthcare, education, and other public services to ensure a more resilient and equitable future.

In a world characterized by rapid change and global complexities, this book serves as a vital resource for scholars, researchers, and students of economics, as well as policy-makers seeking a deeper understanding of economic growth, energy, environment, migration, development, digital transformation, and demography. Its comprehensive analysis and forward-thinking proposals offer valuable insights into building a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
