About this book
This book outlines the connection between the principles of proportionality of state intervention and strategies made by the European Union. It describes underlining reasons for the occurrence of the global economic recession and available intervention options for governments to the EU markets.
This book works out several possibilities EU countries use with the help of state intervention to actively intervene in the market economy. The author critically assesses the proportionality of interventions in the markets of EU members. With regard to the European economic recession, the book highlights the background of the global financial and external debt crisis. In this context, possible measures for growth promotion processes of the EU are also described.
The book will appeal to lecturers and students of economics disciplines worldwide, political advisors of EU member states and decision-makers of the European Central Bank; as well as, in principle, all interested readers who would like to learn more about fiscal policy in the European Union.

Reviews
“The book ‘The Proportionality of State Intervention’ by Sebastian Weißschnur is recommended for everyone who would like to deal with the financial crisis that began in 2007 and its effects more intensively. Due to the in-depth and comprehensive research and analysis of the data from 2008 to 2020, this publication can be described as a scholarly work that every expert in the field of finance should take a look at in order to learn about the interrelationships of the financial crisis and the consequences thereof, but also about proposed solutions. Therefore, it is also highly recommended for economists and politicians. The book is rounded off by a large number of case studies, through which one can gain an even deeper insight into the subject matter.” (Michael Hauer, Professor for Financial Markets and Financial Planning at the ebs European Business School, Oestrich-Winkel and at the Amberg-Weiden University of Applied Sciences, both in GER)
