Looking at how austerity has become embedded in institutional practices, this book offers new critical insights into the uneven geographies created by austerity.
Reflecting on the spatially and socially uneven impacts of austerity on individuals and families, Julie Mac Leavy 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.
