After the 2008 economic crisis, the United States and the United Kingdom were able to employ unconventional monetary policies to escape recession.

BERKELEY The recent G 20 meeting of finance ministers in Saint Petersburg confirmed that the debate between growth and austerity is over at least for now. With protracted recession in Europe and slowdowns in emerging markets, concern about budget deficits has given way to apprehension about growth.
