"The financial and economic crisis in the aftermath of 2008 is unique for several reasons: its depth, its speed and its globalentanglement. Simultaneous economic decline in many economies around the globe sent out political shockwaves. In Europe, the crisis served as a wake-up call. Policymakers responded to the social and political insecurity triggered by economically unsound practices with solidarity and with EU-scepticism."
