However, despite being the cause of debate for more than three centuries, austerity remains a poorly understood concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Suzanne J. Konzelmann aims to demystify austerity as an economic policy, a political idea, and a social phenomenon. Beginning with an analysis of political and socioeconomic history from the seventeenth century, she explains the economics of austerity in the context of the overall dynamics of state spending, tax, and debt. Using comparative case studies from around the world, ranging from the 1930s to post-2008, she then evaluates the outcomes of austerity in light of its stated objectives and analyses the conditions under which it doesn’t – and occasionally does – work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis accessible introduction to austerity will be essential reading for students and scholars of political economy, economics, and politics, as well as all readers interested in current affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430092161260,"sku":"9781509534876","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509534876.jpg?v=1774559753"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/suzanne-j-konzelmann.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
