Publisher Description: Austerity is not always one-size-fits-all; it can be a flexible, class-based strategy taking several forms depending on the political-economic forces and institutional characteristics present. This important book identifies continuity and variety in crisis-driven austerity restructuring across Canada, Denmark, Ireland and Spain. It uncovers how austerity can be categorized into different dynamic types, and exposes the economic, social, and political implications of the varieties of austerity. |
