Economic resilience is an emergent field in the social sciences. In this timely book, key scholars examine how individuals, organisations, regions and nations are affected by internal and external crises, and consider how the ways in which they respond will determine their future growth path. Providing a coherent and clear narrative, Creating Resilient Economies offers a theoretical analysis of resilience and provides guidance to policymakers with regards to fostering more resilient economies and people. It adeptly illustrates how resilience thinking can offer the opportunity to re-frame economic development policy and practice and provides a clear evidence base of the cultural, economic, political and social conditions that shape the adaptability, flexibility and responsiveness to crises in their many forms. Academics and scholars across the social sciences will find this book an enlightening gateway into the subject of economic resilience. Its eminently practical approach will also benefit government policy makers interested in how localities, regions and nations can respond more effectively to crises.Contributors include: D.

'As someone who researches resilience and sustainability in entrepreneurs, I appreciated the book's message and details. As someone who endeavors to live resiliently and sustainably (and entrepreneurially). I really appreciate this. Five years ago people would stare blankly at phrases such as ''circular economy''. Today, they get it. With books like this, in five years, we'll be living it. The educator, scholar and entrepreneur in me all applaud this bold effort. Well done, gents!'
