Summary/Abstract: Review of the e-book Baldwin, Richard − Weder di Mauro, Beatrice (eds.): Mitigating the COVID Economic Crisis: Act Fast and Do Whatever It Takes. A VoxEU.org Book, London: CEPR Press, 2020, ISBN 978-1-912179-29-9 This peer-reviewed publication addresses the main topic of the current year: mitigating the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. In the form of contributions provided by leading experts, the publication's 24 chapters explain the mechanisms of the pandemic and the socio-economic implications of tackling the disease and include a discussion on the economic and social policy measures introduced aimed at counteracting the negative consequences of the crisis. It covers developments until this year´s March, at which time it was published. The informative value of the publication lies not only in its retrospective view but also the various suggestions put forward for possible solutions. It can thus be recommended to all those interested in the world economy and the consequences of the current, relatively unfavourable global situation.
