Although it appeared to end with the COVID-19 pandemic, a return to harsh cutbacks in the future cannot be ruled out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this incisive analysis, Diane Perrons shows that while austerity policies have devastating effects on people's lives, their gendered dynamics are particularly conspicuous: budget cuts have been overwhelmingly aimed at services used by women. She illustrates how the gender aspects of this economic and social catastrophe intersected with a range of other factors, making the experience of austerity very different for different groups—and highly unjust. Not only that, it undermined responses to COVID-19.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe finishes by critiquing the justifications for austerity policies and asks whether there are compelling alternatives that can re-invigorate economies and societies after the pandemic, and avoid a return to austerity. This compelling book will be essential reading for activists, policymakers and students of feminist political economy everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47340876071148,"sku":"9781509526963","price":23.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12291883482725.jpg?v=1772174018"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/diane-perrons.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
