Reflecting on the spatially and socially uneven impacts of austerity on individuals and families, Julie MacLeavy shows how the 'new normal' of post-welfare state governance will negatively condition life chances, even in better economic times. She considers the political, economic and social developments that have led us to the present moment and shows how the rhetoric of austerity has pushed social inequality and uneven development off the political agenda.
Reviews / Votes
"If you want to understand the complexities of austerity, there is no better place than MacLeavy's book. She ties together the political project to shrink the welfare state and the impacts of austerity for individuals, families, public sector workers and communities. Devastating." Mia Gray, University of Cambridge "This book weaves together a powerful story of neoliberalism and austerity as they have played out in Britain, not as abstract theories, but through the lived experience of disadvantaged communities." Allan Cochrane, The Open University "Julie MacLeavy's powerful and revelatory book shows that austerity was more than a cyclical episode, more even than an extended crisis, but a destructive and ongoing process of social and state transformation. It's an incisive and important contribution." Jamie Peck, University of British ColumbiaMore details
