Holistic management of the COVID-19 pandemic

The authors of this monograph leverage their expertise in risk management within the financial system to compile and clarify the existing knowledge surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. They acknowledge the pandemic's dual nature: endogenous due to individual health practices and exogenous in relation to governmental lockdowns, presenting a comprehensive systemic risk. Their approach to holistic systemic risk management effectively sequences events and actions, ensuring that the resolution of one crisis seamlessly transitions into the onset of another. This scholarly work is highly valued for its depth of content and methodological rigor. The repercussions and challenges posed by COVID-19 are topics of substantial interest, prominently discussed in both international, and to a lesser extent, Polish economic and financial literature, spanning scientific, popular, and journalistic works. From this perspective, the monograph is seen as an important synthesis of the most current and significant insights in this field. It would not be an overstatement to suggest that the book by Professors Solarz and Waliszewski might serve as the inaugural Polish entry in the domain of 'Coronomics'.
