The 2008 crisis failed to produce a paradigmatic shift comparable to the New Deal.
Evidence
Still, as Ka¨dtler (2011) has pointed out, the financial crisis has not led to a paradigmatic shift in economic thinking, like the one that resulted in the New Deal of the 1930s. This leaves the difficult yet important task for policy-makers and academics alike to propose alternative models of twenty-first century capitalism that may bring long-term sustainability, inclusiveness and equality. — Natascha van der Zwan, Making Sense of Financialization, 115
