The Great Depression has not only caused economic tragedy throughout the globe but also paved the way to WWII causing unspeakable misery. Now, it’s been more than a decade since the 2008 crisis. The big question is “what awaits us next?” “After the crisis” provides a very accurate narrative of events and theories that led to the 2008 crisis. How did this crisis shape our understanding of economic theory? How has it given birth to digital technologies such as Blockchain and sharing economies among others? How did it make our world vulnerable to increased polarization and authoritarianism? Erdem is a scholar trained both in economics and physics, who has years of experience in both financial and scholarly world. Combined with his powerful storytelling, his book is a must read for anyone who wants to gain insight on “what awaits us next” in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis!--Dr. Burak Can, Maastricht University, Dept. of Data Analytics and Digitalisation
