These are important observations given the pressure that Western governments are under to increase government borrowing in the face of slowing growth rates. Author Robert Barro then discusses what he believes will be the next crisis—a crisis of government indebtedness. This publication is based on a lecture given in July 2011 and such a crisis has, indeed, unfolded. However, Barro expects that this crisis will not be confined to the Eurozone. For example, U.S. states are failing to deal with the problems of both explicit debt and future pensions and social insurance obligations. Barro concludes with suggestions as to how governments should deal with these growing problems.

Barro is excellent as ever on the failure of fiscal 'stimulus' but is too blase about the monetary side of the economy. His account of the origins of the crisis is disappointingly glib.
