The study programme in a nutshell
Economic policy problems are everywhere. Think of the financial crisis in 2008, the euro crisis that erupted in 2010 and the corona crisis of 2020.

And income inequality is increasing almost everywhere in the Western world due to globalisation and technological changes.
