Abstract

The post-2008 crisis seems to have come to an end in most countries, but its long-term impacts are increasingly felt by most players of the world economy. Certain economic problems were aggravated, others created by the crisis that seems to have generated significant structural and behavioral changes in most national economies and their international relations. These lasting changes are listed, and new directions for research suggested in the present paper, using an approach combining the human, the financial and the growth dimensions.
