About this book
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.
