Book Synopsis
Why do rich countries flirt with fiscal disaster? Zsófia Barta argues that explaining why some countries accumulate substantial amounts of debt for decades hinges on understanding the conditions required to allow policy makers to successfully put into place painful adjustment measures.

Trade Review
This book is timely. It’s one of those books that when you read it, you think, ‘I can’t believe someone hasn’t done this before.’ But in fact, no one has. . . . Its topic is intellectually challenging and substantively important."" - Pepper Culpepper, University of Oxford

""In the Red will convince other scholars that fiscal polarization and international exposure are important factors to incorporate in any systematic attempt to understand processes of fiscal adjustment."" - Deborah Mabbett, Birbeck, University of London
